Mother Turtle (a.k.a Marsia Shuron Harris), performs solo and with band. Her brand of SoulRock is said to "be soulful enough to inspire even the most cynical bastard to dance" (Performer Magazine). Songs are rooted in personal growth, social consciousness, love and a larger vision for the world as a whole.  Blending soul, rock, acoustic and jazz, Mother Turtle attracts a variety of music fans and people of all ages dance to the infectious rhythms. The Union News calls her music, “inspirational” and “moving.” Her voice is distinctive and often compared to dark chocolate, maple tree trunks, and Joan Armatrading. In the summer of 2004, Marsia formed the group Mother Turtle, where she is songwriter and front woman for the band. Lead guitarist Atticus Robbins, brings a unique mix of Latin, reggae and rock to the group, while drummer Ade Bayo an accomplished African percussionist and hip hop drummer, lays down the groove. On bass is the exceptional, Peter Kim, who's solid bass lines keep the music upbeat and danceable. Each member of Mother Turtle brings something very different to the group, resulting in music that moves your hips, and your heart.
