Aimee Bobruk

"Nothing less than a work of art" is what Performing Songwriter is calling Aimee Bobruk's latest work. In what she terms indie/ambient/folk/rock Bobruk presents listeners with rich orchestral melodies, crisp lyrical images, and combines non-traditional instrumentation with ambient textures. Most often, compared to Margo Timmins of The Cowboy Junkies, Bobruk entertains a modern pop edge in combination with her confidently sensuous voice. The result is what Brad Houser, from the New Bohemians calls "hauntingly beautiful."
Aimee Bobruk's new album, The Safety Match Journal, is a window into the thoughts of what some people call an old soul, and for someone still in her mid-twenties, releasing her debut album, Aimee is no newcomer. In 2006, Bobruk took the prize in the “Mountain Town Stages: Slopeside Serenade” songwriting contest in Utah and opened for the legendary Dr. John. More recently, she was selected as a southwest regional finalist for the prestigious New Song Mountain Stages Festival, and has billed with Ruthie Foster at the famous KGSR 107.1 FM "Unplugged at the Grove" music series. In addition her song “For the Lost Airwaves,” which appears on the The Safety Match Journal, was used in the 2007 documentary Team Everest: A Himalayan Journey.
“This album is one of many expressions to come,” she says. “My perspective will remain completely unique to me, but as far as the sound around it, I’m interested in exploring new boundaries.”
