Though based in the Pacific Northwest, SMH is becoming increasingly known across the country for their unusual mix of diverse instruments and a sound some have called "Gypsy Funk"... .. - Dave Beck - KUOW's "The Beat".. .. .. "...Band plays well together and the solid groove coupled with committed vocal sell the songs, impassioned vocal performance, strong imagery...Nice vibe to the band and vocal... seems a solid live act. I bet you do well on the road.".... - A&R Rep. TAXI.. .. .. "As the booking agent for our small town club, the two most important qualities I look for in a band are originality and danceability. SisterMonk gets a rating of ten out of ten in both categories.".... - Aaron Studen, Manager/Twisp River Pub.. .. Gypsy funk, Arabesque trance, deep Latin grooves, soulful vocal and instrumental performances create the uniquely powerful experience that is SisterMonk. SisterMonk's music probes provocative themes with mystical poetry and driving, rhythmic passion. Adventures through wilderness homesteading, zen meditation, urban/ rural community living and Tai Chi inspire SisterMonk's songs of epic beauty, mystery, and epiphany... .. SisterMonk's power trio is guitarist/songwriter Jody Rubel, singer/ percussionist K. Deane and bass player Trevor Hochman... .. The group shares bases in both Seattle, WA and New York City. The band tours frequently and continues to amass a loyal and diverse fan base. Following up the success of their two earlier CD releases (sold over 4, 000 copies) SisterMonk released "Heavyweight Champions" in 2010. SisterMonk has shared the stage with such notable acts as Zap Mama, Michael Franti & Spearhead, Anoushka Shankar, Karl Denson Trio, On the One, Delta Nove and more. They have appeared at a variety of prominent venues on both east and west coasts. East coast venues include The Knitting Factory, LeBarBat's, SUNY New Paltz (opened for Michael Franti & Spearhead), Tower Records and Border Books. Pacific Northwest venues include the NW Folklife Festival, Seattle Hempfest, Rolling Thunder Democracy Tour (opened for Zap Mama), Nectar, Jazzbones, Evergreen St. College, Bastyr U., Humboldt State U., and numerous other clubs and venues in the area. They have been featured on radio shows such as "The Beat" with Dave Beck – KUOW 94.9FM (NPR), KBCS's "Roots and Branches" segment, KSER 90.7FM's "The Sunlit Room" and KISM 92.9FM.

Please send me an email: CharmaineSings@CharmaineClamor.com. And if you would like to be friends on Facebook, you may send a friend request at facebook.com/charmaineclamor. I hope to be touring through your area soon. Let's keep in touch so I can let you know when I'm coming!
    yours in music,

"Audience engaging, danceable personable-if they came in pill form we'd all be addicts!"- BitterRoot Brewery


SisterMonk is a musical project founded on friendship and passionate interest in how we create meaning as cultural beings. Jody's degree in anthropology, Kathy's experience with hand drums and garden landscaping, Tatiana's study of semiotics, language, and playwriting lend themselves to deep questions voiced in song. Built into the almost mythological system underscoring SisterMonk's music is a structural view of reality that revels in the snarl of opposites. SisterMonk's original songs are inspired by adventures on roads less traveled - at the intersection of wild places and cityscapes.



SisterMonk's original music is female-powered, djembe-driven, & culturally diverse. Soulful vocals, danceable grooves & poetic lyrics have gained the band solid fan base from east to west coast. The band evokes the spirit and soul of the 60's while maintaining a distinct modern edge. They have been compared to the likes of Ani DiFranco, Rusted Root, Natalie Merchant, Mumford & Sons and Dead Can Dance. SisterMonk has shared the stage with such notable acts as Zap Mama, Michael Franti & Spearhead, Anoushka Shankar, Karl Denson Trio, Mario Batali, and more.
