Биография

Transcending genres with their eclectic and eccentric blend of instruments and lineages, the SIMRIT experience is based around lead singer-songwriter, Simrit Kaur, born in Athens, Greece and adopted by Greek Americans into South Carolina. Traditional Greek music, Roots Reggae, Motown among many others, have proven deeply influential as Simrit has unlocked her own unique sound. Filling out the SIMRIT sound and experience is Salif Bamakora on the 21-string West African kora, Shannon Hayden on electric cello (which she runs through a pedal board with wild effects) and guitar, Jared May on bass & Moog synthesizer and Devon Ashley on drums and other percussion. SIMRIT's music is known for its healing effect; hypnotic, deep-pocket groove, ethereal haunting beauty, and mind-bending atmosphere. SIMRIT’s music has been celebrated at #1 on the iTunes World Music charts, many times over, and has been featured at the top 5 and top 10 Billboard World and New Age charts.
