Mara Simpson (of Mara and the Bushkas)
MARA & THE BUSHKAS formed in Wellington, February 2010 after Mara Simpson, British Singer-Songwriter, bumped into session guitarist Matthew Newman in a Cuba St music shop. The two argued over Atlantic soul, Matthew lost the argument and was forfitted to jam with Mara and Bushka founding bassist Bruce Reid from The Volunteers. A versatile drummer was clearly needed; and fellow Singer-Songwriter and friend Jean Pompey of Olmecha Supreme and Sheeba was the obvious choice. The Bushka project was born.
Mara's kenyan roots, love of Janis Joplin & The Rolling Stones, and tendancy to produce volume that outsizes her, combined with her killer band from all walks of life, creates the truly unique sound that is Mara & The Bushkas. Folk, Rock, Soul, Pop – or an echo of decades past – you'll need to hear them to find out.
