UNION COUNTY''S ORIA ASPEN TO OPEN FOR JAMES McCARTNEY AT NEW YORK’S GRAMERCY THEATRE ON JUNE 7th

Union County’s Oria Aspen will be the opening act for James McCartney at The Gramercy Theatre in New York City on Thursday, June 7th. Oria will be playing selections from Yellow Paint, her highly-praised debut album. Showtime is 8:00pm.

A deeply personal journey through everyday life, Yellow Paint is a collection of 14 songs – all but one written by 17-year-old Oria. Sometimes sassy, sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes raucous, but always passionate, Yellow Paint conveys the hopes, fears, frustrations and joys that we all experience.  Yellow Paint  not only showcases Oria’s impressive vocal ability and masterful flute skills, but also reveals her exceptional songwriting talent.  With Yellow Paint, Oria has managed not only to paint a picture of her world, but has invited us be a part of it.

Oria – opening in support of James McCartney, who is currently touring North America in support of his new release, Close At Hand – will be backed by a full band, with Mike Mancini on keyboard; Tom Seguso on drums; Jason Marks on bass; Jules Belmont, guitars; The General, guitars; Bob Magnuson, woodwinds; and Faith Martin on vocals.  The Gramercy Theatre is located at 127 East 23rd Street in New York City – 212-614-6932. Showtime is at 8:00pm. For more information on the show, please log on to: http://thegramercytheatre.com/event/0000487AF49FF000
