AURA Music & Arts Festival has added several new artists to the 2015 lineup including the debut of Break Science Live Band where the synergy and flow of electronic duo Borahm Lee and Adam Deitch will be joined by Lettuce’s Jesus Coomes on bass, Adam Smirnoff on guitar, Ryan Zoidis on sax and Eric Bloom on trumpet. Also joining the bill is Colorado’s funk and afrobeat seven-piece The Motet, the Sunshine State’s The Heavy Pets with their signature genre blending rock and roll, the heavy instrumental rock fusion of TAUK, and the progressive soul funk of The Fritz; along with Brother Bean, Funkin’ Grateful and two Heavy Pets side projects – Lather Up! and Fat Mannequin.
 
Due to a scheduling conflict, Snarky Puppy will no longer be performing at AURA 2015, but the phase three artists announced today will join The Disco Biscuits, moe., Papadosio, Kung Fu, Dopapod, RAQ, Jimkata, Consider the Source, and more March 6 – 8, 2015 at Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park (SOSMP) in Live Oak, Florida.
