Neshama Selah (Album Launch)

Lyric's Underground (Maylands, WA)
Thursday, 1 August 2024 6:30 pm
Neshama Selah are delighted to launch their debut self-titled album on August 1st at Lyrics Underground, Maylands. This project is a collaborative mix of originals by the band’s three core members, Gabby Lee, Will Pethick, and Kira Gunn, and also features some well-loved hymns. United by their collective Christian faith, Neshama Selah exists to write and perform music that is inspired by scripture and the person of Jesus. Each song on the album is linked by this theme of faith in Jesus, and take ideas from different parts of scripture. Drawing from jazz, classical, folk and alternative influences, the band has a unique cross-genre sound.
Neshama Selah was formed by Will and Gabby, who met during their study at WAAPA, and shared the same vision of creating new faith-based music. They were joined by Kira Gunn and Rhys Clark as this vision developed, and the band recorded their album just before Will left to Germany for further study in 2023. Their album launch will feature a very special appearance from Will during a short visit to Perth, and will also feature guest musicians Shyanne Dickerson, and William Lee.
The night will be opened by a set from the wonderful Mariah Hlatywayo.
