AURA band reunites after 22 years
AURA (1986) - (pictured, from left to right)
John Canfield, Warren Shacklette, Rusty Bladen, Todd Brindel and Mark Bear
Flashback to 1986:
Gas is 93 cents a gallon. Ronald Reagan is beginning his second term as president, and Back to the Future is the #1 box office draw.
In Madison, Indiana, people are lined up in the parking lot of the Hereford Lounge to see local band, AURA in concert.
Fans will now have a chance to see the band again, in 2008.
On August 2, AURA will reunite for one show, at the Moose Lodge in Madison. Showtime is 8pm.
Back in 1986, five young musicians, Rusty Bladen, Mark Bear, John Canfield, Todd Brindel of Madison and Warren Shacklette from Louisville were on stage. Dressed in brightly colored spandex pants, with eye liner and teased up long hair, the lights are flashing, drums pounding and the guitars cranking out Top 40 rock and roll.
From 1981 to 1987, AURA ruled the Madison music scene and through lineup changes, had some of the town’s most talented musicians that included Derin Lowry, Darrell Hewitt, Tim Kelly, Dave Wells, Berry Burleson, Bobby T. Sampson, Bill Dossey, and Jim Stewart, all of Madison.
AURA broke up in 1987 and the band members went separate ways, starting new jobs and families. As time went by, there were rumors of a band reunion but it never happened. Now after 22 years, it’s official!
“It’s not just a band reunion - it’s a fan reunion”, says Bladen, “it’s a chance to see old friends and reflect on some great times when they were younger and maybe just a bit wilder. For the younger generation, it’s a chance to see what they missed when their parents were rocking out in the ‘80’s."
All ages welcome. Tickets are $7.00 at the door. Kids 12 and under admitted free.
A portion of the proceeds will benefit The Jefferson County United Way.
