Behiye Suren Live at EM Chill

Thursday, Sep 1, 2011
8:30pm -> 1:00am
The Back Door

Zico House and the Beirut Groove Collective present:

Fresh from Istanbul, right before starting her Australian tour, singer-songwriter Behiya will enchant Beirut with her exotic voice.
Behiye (pronounced Bare-Hee-Ye) draws on her Turkish/Australian heritage to create her distinctive blend of lyrics and melodies. With a rich voice that is at once emotive and soothing, she tells stories around the theme of human relationships, taking her listeners on uplifting and dark journeys against the backdrop of the Australian landscape, the seasons and the sea. Described as ‘soulful folk with a middle-eastern twist’, her sound is
reminiscent of artists like Aimee Mann, Joan Baez and Lior.

Behiye’s recent performances include live-to-air shows at Bondi FM, The Rocksong festival, The Northern Beaches Music Festival and the Love-jam Festival.

DJs James Locksmith and Ernesto Chahoud
