Effective period / Period of releases: 2012 - 2013

Members: AOR, Frédéric Slama, Sarah Fontaine, Mélissa Fontaine

Singers Sarah & Mélissa Fontaine are certainly no strangers to small sold out clubs.They developed a strong following performing in the west country of their native France before joining force with Frédéric Slama from the band AOR.
Their unique style reflects an influence of Melodic and Classic rock by bands that range from The Eagles to Dakota, Toto and Survivor. In a chance meeting with Frédéric Slama of AOR fame (who played with members of Toto, FM, Chicago, Dakota among many others), their careers, and their new band « Chasing Violets » took an exciting turn and they decided to record their first English CD “Outside Heaven” written & produced by Frédéric Slama. This album was followed a year later by Jade Hearts, who won critical acclaims worldwide.
« Chasing Violets » reflects Sarah & Mélissa’s passion for AOR music: Melodic rock with a touch of sensuality. « Chasing Violets » is the answer to their dreams – Two female lead singers fronting the band with the best Aor musicians in the world, following in the footsteps of other Aor great’s Robin Beck, Fiona and Heart.
