Vox Rea

Vox Rea features Kate Kurdyak (lead vocals/piano/guitar/violin) and Lauren Kurdyak (vocals/piano/percussion). Citing influences that range from Florence and the Machine to Friedrich Nietzsche, the sibling-duo draws inspiration from a mix of nostalgia for times past and life in a modern day world in turmoil. Vox Rea focuses on art as an experience as opposed to a product and their shows are an exercise in presence, communion and deep listening. Themes of addiction, self-doubt, lust, identity, independence and grief form the undercurrent of lyrics that are deeply introspective. Hell bent on creating a meaningful life amidst the siren songs of consumerism and efficiency, Vox Rea believes in the revolutionary power of art.

Since the release of their first single “Dose Me Up” in 2020, Vox Rea has been featured on playlists including New Music Friday, Indie All Stars, Fresh Finds, and Ultimate Indie and media outlets like Vice, MTV, and BBC Radio 6. Their single “Damn (Unstuck)” was featured on the cover of Folk & Friends and made Spotify’s Top Folk Songs of 2021. Vox Rea has played in music festivals across North America including SXSW, Treefort Music Fest, Laketown Shakedown and Capitol Hill Block Party.

With new music on the horizon alongside their first European tours, 2023 looks to be a promising year for Vox Rea.
