We are thrilled to host this wonderful concert with SIMRIT.
Description: 

SIMRIT is creating waves with packed theatres and concert halls, chart-topping albums, and raving fans world-wide, powering a palpable musical movement. 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 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, haunting beauty, edge, and mind-bending atmosphere.

“I’m such a fan of Simrit. Her sense of melody, her energy, and her musicality set her apart. Simrit, to me, is the voice of this new day and age.”
BELINDA CARLISLE

“For Simrit, singing is not a performance, it is a sacred worship of the Divine. Her voice, her music, and her teaching, reflect this devotion which seems to come from her so effortlessly. This devotion is a gift, a talent beyond any, that will lead thousands into the lightness of being and awareness that is so vital to humanity in this day and age.”
SNATAM KAUR
 

“Imagine that the Aurora Borealis could sing. That’s Simrit’s voice…timeless, strong and ethereal as a whale’s song.”
LA YOGA

 

About the speaker, SIMRIT

SIMRIT are a neo-psychedelic world music band who are creating waves with packed concert halls, chart-topping albums, and raving fans world-wide, powering a palpable musical movement. Transcending genres with their eclectic blend of instruments and lineages, the SIMRIT experience is based around lead singer-songwriter, Simrit Kaur, born in Greece and adopted by Greek Americans into South Carolina.

Traditional Greek music, roots reggae, The Grateful Dead, Mazzy Star, Led Zeppelin, among many others, have been deeply influential as Simrit has develeped her own unique sound. Decades of study and experimentation with Kundalini yoga deepened Simrit’s relationship with the quantum technology of Naad yoga, the ancient science of articulating specific sounds, which can impact the brain’s neural pathways and elicit altered states of reality, the effects of which influence her music.

Filling out the SIMRIT sound and experience is Salif Bamakora on the 21-string West African kora, Shannon Hayden on electric cello and guitar, Jared May on bass & Moog synthesizer and Devon Ashley on drums and percussion.

SIMRIT's music is known for its hypnotic, deep-pocket groove, haunting beauty, edge, and mind-bending atmosphere. It has been called exotic funk while also being likened to the epic, cinematic feel of David Lynch films.
