Newsletters
Hello and welcome to the brand new AURA Music & Arts Festival Newsletter. This will be your bi-monthly connection to all things AURA, including artist profiles, up to date information, insight on special events and maybe even a few surprises along the way.
Noah Webster and his Merriam counterpart’s dictionary define the term aura as “a distinctive atmosphere surrounding a given source.” In paranormal studies an aura is subtle luminous radiation, in mythology Aura is the goddess of the fresh air, and in music culture aura is not just the name of a Miles Davis album. It is an appropriate term for describing a person, place or even a feeling that is bigger than itself by achieving the exponential sum of its parts.
On an isolated farmland just inside central Florida, the annual event brings together the chronically music obsessed of the Sunshine State, and beyond, for a weekend boasting symptoms of experimentation, exploration and commonality. Bands of musicians travel respective distances through the rugged topography of marshes and tropical vegetation for a chance to contribute. Patrons gather in large numbers to establish temporary communities, and revel in the experience of migratory relocation for a common intention. In effect the aura of AURA is created when all of these things coalesce at once.
