Simrit is a musician like no other. She creates her music through inspiration from her life experiences. Drawing on the harmonic beauty and melodic sensibilities of the ancient Byzantine, Greek Orthodox chants she grew up, with the pulse of the West African drum traditions she studied, and fused with her training in piano and vocals from different traditions, of the spirit. Over the last few years, she has created waves with packed theaters and concert halls, chart-topping albums, and raving fans that have powered a palpable musical movement.

Simrit's music and artistry, which has attracted fans such as Steven Tyler of the Aerosmith and Belinda Carlisle of the Go-Go, is known for its depth, haunting beauty, edge, and psychedelic atmosphere. She mixes distilled philosophical statements with ethereal and hooky arrangements, turns 16th-century Gurmukhi poetry into hypnotically grooving songs, develops anthemic melodies and feels, and creates epic soundscapes threaded with mantras. Simply, she brings the depth of the sacred and ancient to the modern.

This is not your average concert. From the transcendent sounds, the hypnotic groove, the world-class musicians, and the Simrit's mesmerizing voice… Get ready for lift-off!
