Orenda Fink will be performing at Hear Nebraska's lunchtime show Hear Omaha on Thursday, June 11. The performance will include  a number of old favorites, including songs from last year's Blue Dreamalong with a selection of covers. Hear Nebraska caught up with Orenda to discuss the performance and her upcoming projects. Read the full interview  here

Orenda   Fink  is a founding member of  Azure Ray  and is a member of O+S, Harouki Zombi  and formerly Art In Manila. She has released three solo albums on Saddle Creek. On her debut solo album  Invisible Ones, Orenda explored traditional Haitian ritual and mysticism. She then followed that up with an examination of the Southern Gothic subconscious on  Ask the Night. Needless to say, death has been visible in much of her music. In 2014,  Orenda released her third solo  LP  Blue Dream which  may be her most focused, intense, and personal album to date. The LP doesn't shy away from her style of exploring the darker edges of spirituality and the human condition, as Orenda was inspired to write the songs for Blue Dream after her beloved dog of 16 years, Wilson, passed away. Orenda started to see a psychotherapist who specialized in dream analysis. Through these sessions, which included writing in a dream journal every day, ideas for the album came forth.
