Through the introductions of other professional touring musicians, Aela began as a project while the friendships of three developed. Then one day, by happenstance, someone heard us and offered us a gig. Unprepared for what was ahead, Aela moved from a simple project of playing music to a small band that brings a large venue performance. Aela delivers powerful sound and uncompromising musicianship to all shows - small to big. What Aela found most, though, was an uncommon friendship that just happened to like music.
