On December 14, the stage of The Piston will host the first solo concert of Ukrainian singer, songwriter, and artist Alona Armour, who has lived and breathed music for 25 years.

You may have seen her performing at charity events such as the tribute concert to Andrii Kuzmenko (Skriabin), Independence Day Boat Concert, and various StandUp shows.

This evening will mark the debut presentation of her first album “Hruši” (“Pears”) — a deeply personal musical story of nine indie-pop tracks with a touch of rock , written from the heart and reflecting her journey through truth, love, drive, hope, and inner strength. The show will also feature famous Ukrainian covers you definitely have in your playlist.

A full live band will perform on stage — drums, guitar, bass, keyboards, and guest musicians.

At the end of the concert, there will be a raffle, where every guest will have a chance to win a special gift as a memory of the night. 7pm 19+
