Transcending genres with the eclectic and eccentric blend of instruments and lineages, the SIMRIT experience is based around lead singer-songwriter, Simrit Kaur, of Greek and North African descent, born in Athens, Greece and adopted by Greek Americans into South Carolina. SIMRIT is creating waves with packed theaters and concert halls, chart-topping albums, and a devoted cult following world-wide that is powering a palpable musical movement. Traditional Greek folk music, Roots Reggae, The Grateful Dead, Motown and many others have proven deeply influential as Simrit developed her unique sound with her evocative and soaring vocals, harmonium, and keyboard. 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 effects) and guitar, Jared May on bass & Moog synthesizer and Devon Ashley on drums. SIMRIT's music is known for its healing effect...with the hypnotic, deep-pocket groove boasting a haunting beauty, edge, and mind-bending atmosphere. SIMRITâs 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.
