about

As the 2nd Sistra full-length is underway, I've been working on cover versions of tunes that have meant something to me over the years.

Some of these songs have (some more evidently than others) made their way into the Sistra live repertoire, and to varying degrees are informing the direction of this next album.

All due reverence to the original performers, please go take a listen if you're not already familiar with these giants.
