ABOUT AIREENE ESPIRITU

AIREENE ESPIRITU’s songs are a mix of stompin’, swayin’, timeless and soulful Americana reminiscent of front porch storytelling, of ghosts and the living, times of laughter and tears. Aireene was a soloist with the Glide Ensemble in San Francisco, toured nationwide and internationally, and in 2016, was added to the roster of artists under non-profit label, Little Village. She created A Color-Coded Symphony project, a musical experience connecting the audience’s ethnic origins to rhythms of the world and whose aim is to nurture curiosity and openness towards other cultures through music. She performs solo and with her band Aireene & The Itch. Her latest project is with trio, The Sampaguitas, singing Filipino folk songs and originals in three-part harmonies.

“A rare breed of artist, soul singer, folk troubadour, a skiffle tear-stained street singer with a heart as big as the history of the music that drives her…a storyteller without borders or cultural limitations.” – No Depression

“Folk singer-songwriter Aireene Espiritu works in the elemental substance of vernacular American music with an uncanny ease. Whether blues, hillbilly, soul, folk or R&B…demonstrates masterly command of each. Her original compositions mix deft lyrical construction and classic form just as impressively…An authentic, authoritative vocalist and with distinctly sensitive manner of phrasing…” – Los Angeles Times

ABOUT SECRET SONG CLUB

Welcome to Secret Song Club! We organize music parties, house concerts, and open mics in backyards and living rooms throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. We’re all about creating listening spaces where people can hear music with less background chatter. You don’t have to be a songwriter or a musician to attend. Everyone is welcome. All donations go to the featured performers or the charities at our benefit events. The only part of the club that’s secret is the location.
