June 2, 2019The best band ever!
Aurora Bleu was incredible! Super professional, they came early to set up, and when it started raining really hard, they just moved all their stuff inside and finished their set in the living room without batting an eye. It was so fun!! They were super talented, especially Aurora, the lead singer—she has some pipes!! I loved how they covered and rearranged all sorts of different songs to make them swing, even pop songs like “Call me Maybe” was given a retro makeover! So good! I can’t recommend them enough, they’d be perfect for any event. They really made my birthday party feel super special and awesome!!

Aurora Blue was fantastic at our Grand Opening for Rapid Recovery Center in Fort Worth. We had so many compliments from our guest on the music. The band and her were friendly and took the time to look at our venue and set up prior to the event. Thank you for making our night special!!

December 1, 2016Fantastic!
Aurora Bleu is absolutely wonderful. The band is amazing, Stephanie has a beautiful voice and they are such a pleasure to work with. I hired them for our largest fundraising gala and was thoroughly impressed by their performance. The retro tunes were really fun and gave our audience something different to enjoy then just the same old party band cover songs. You will not regret hiring them. This band will surprise and delight!

November 13, 2016Aurora Bleu is AMAZING!
I got to hear this band on November 5th, 2016 in the Stockyards in Fort Worth, Texas. I was there on vacation and walking through the Stockyards I heard someone singing "At Last" I was blown away! I only got to hear her sing one other song "Something's got a hold on me" , also an Etta James song. I was able to record a video and uploaded it to youtube, under sumkid01. We had to watch the steer at 4 PM, so we couldn't stay. I came back afterwards but they were packing up. I've been telling everyone I know about the amazing singer I came across on my Texas trip. I would recommend this band to anyone and everyone!
