The Azures: Passion, Poetry, and Psychedelic Rock
We visit Secret Guitars in Toms River, New Jersey, to chat with the dynamic members of the Azures—Clarissa, Ashton, Gia, and Eric. The conversation delves into the band's origins, tracing back to when they first met at the guitar shop opened by Eric's father after transitioning from the carpet business. The Azures share their journey from those early days of experimentation and jamming to the release of their self-titled debut album, which encapsulates their unique blend of rock, blues, and psychedelic influences.
Listeners are treated to insights into the band's creative process, where poetry often serves as the foundation for their songwriting. The Azures discuss the evolution of their music, highlighting how their sound has matured over time, particularly with tracks like "Whiskey Sour." The episode also covers the band's recent tour, which marked their first extensive venture beyond local shows, taking them through cities like Nashville and Baltimore. As they recount the highs and lows of touring, including the camaraderie and unexpected challenges, the Azures express excitement for future projects, including new music and potential tours. This episode offers a candid glimpse into the life of a band on the rise, driven by passion and a shared love for music.
