About:
Simple Souls, the acoustic incarnation of an established musical group, Kanalo, has been performing together since July 2003. What was initially a dare to play aside from their established band, Kanalo (which was then a 4-piece band), turned into a new passion for “unplugged” music and a fresh acoustic sound. Simple Souls holds it down with an acoustic guitar, percussions, 2 vocals and a killer list of songs.
Both members add flavor to the group. Zaysha, with a voice that was destined for rock ‘n’ roll, is the duo’s powerhouse. Jenn adds a little fun with her creative singing style and zany personality. Their music selection is so extensive, you’ll never tire listening to the sound that is, Simple Souls.
