Bio
We now live at www.maraandthebushkas.com, please visit for all music, press, live gigs and information! UK / Kenyan songwriter Mara Simpson went to four other continents before appearing, on a whim, in Wellington, New Zealand. In no time she had a band of Wellington all-stars playing her songs, a single & music videos, gigs, tours and a sellout three date showcase at Bats Theatre under her belt. Mara & the Bushkas first album "Live at Bats" is now out on independent release, available in stores and her on the website, just visit the music page! Having just recorded a new EP with Warren Maxell at Stone Feather studio, Mara is now taking the Bushka project to Berlin. Watch this space… -
