Sides Presents: AYLA / Official Claire / illicit kitten: Performing Artist in New York

About Sides Presents: AYLA / Official Claire / illicit kitten

Sides Presents: AYLA / Official Claire / illicit kitten is a New York City bill anchored at Pianos, pairing three distinct approaches to rock and pop songwriting. AYLA’s path runs through a national singing competition and a college basketball scholarship, and she brings an emphasis on clean vocal delivery and tight song structures. Official Claire, the cello-and-piano duo of Arisa Inamoto and Yuki Mihara, draws on classical training to frame songs with chamber-like discipline. Across the lineup, the performances tend to favor clarity over spectacle.
