I’m proud to say that this silver-throated Irish rockabilly knockout was on my Beyond Beyond is Beyond show on East Village Radio back in September, so I just thought I’d share the interview again.  She and her husband and amazing guitarist, Darrel Higham, also performed an exclusive acoustic tune for us at the end of the interview.

Check out the news piece on the EVR website where there is a link to the interview

I also chose her Love Tattoo album as one of the Best of 2009.

THEN, if you dig that, listen to the whole album on YouTube.  It’s all HERE.  Pretty amazing.  Then, after you’re blown away by how good it is and surprised at how modern it is, BUY that shit bro.  I’m def looking for Astra to head to the East Coast!

Cheers!
