Sohre speaks through a myriad of instruments: guitar, piano, accordion, flute, clarinet, harmonium, organ, percussion & vocals, while also sprinkling natural sound effects into some of the themes, inviting you to go on a visual journey through exotic scenery before returning home to an intimate and personal final song.

 

MUSICIANS

Simon McCarty (percussion), Dimitris Kakos (bass), Nikos Tourbis (drums and percussion) and Carl Dexter (guitar, contrabass and weird effects) form the nucleus around Sohre, with guest musicians showcased on several cuts.
