03 Sessions presents: Simona Smirnova "Bird Language" (NYC/Lithuania)
Simona Smirnova is a Lithuanian born jazz vocalist, composer and folk zither - kanklės player based in New York City. By press described as "Eastern European-tinged jazz/exotica", she is a fixture in the New York live scene when she’s not touring the world, including Australia, New Zealand and Europe. She is returning to perform in New Zealand for the third time, and this will be her second time in Christchurch. At '03 Sessions' Simona will be performing with local Christchurch jazz talents.
Smirnova’s genre-bending style has a unique theatrical flavor and uncanny vocal improvisation techniques. She deftly implements folkloric chants and Lithuanian zither – kanklės into foundations of jazz and rock. Smirnova’s new album “Bird Language'' — channels groundbreaking artists like Björk and Joanna Newsom while exploring the ways that humans are connected to nature. "Bird Language" album and her current New Zealand tour is dedicated to the awareness of climate change.
Simona is joined by Joshua Derwahl (drums), James Caughley (piano), Brad Grainger (bass).
