Amelia Wellers-known as Aerhart has quickly established herself in the local music scene after releasing her first two albums during the COVID-19 pandemic. The first, Wishtide, was a folk EP released for friends and family in 2020. Her full length album and current electronic and alternative project, WALLFLOWER, was released in October 2021.
Aerhart is the new project of Brooklyn-based vocalist, songwriter and burgeoning producer Amelia Wellers. Her tightly-structured songwriting and ethereal vocal compositions create space for a wide range of textures, from gravely basslines to infectious drum loops, cinematic strings and drones, marimbas and the occasional water bottle.
In her album WALLFLOWER, Aerhart weaves acoustic and electric instruments into a hybrid set of 10 songs spanning avant-pop and indie-folk genres, with detours into 2000’s-era bangers, moody ballads, and pulsing grooves. The record has been likened to “whatever they play in the Vatican, but heavily electrocuted,” fronted by Joni Mitchell, with overtones of My Brightest Diamond, Mitski, Radiohead and Weyes Blood.
Wellers-Aerhart will play a handpicked selection of songs from both albums, as well as a few debuts. This Brooklyn-based, Ridgefield native’s folk roots run deep, and she’ll give insight into her creative process of how she pushes her folk songs across traditional genre boundaries.
The Ridgefield Folk Concert Series is made possible through the generous support of the Friends of the Ridgefield Library.
