Spiral Rhythm
Spiral Rhythm is a group of friends that have been singing together for almost ten years. They began singing at bonfires, gatherings, and festivals. Slowly, they developed their unique sound complete with deep, multi-textured chants and explosive drums.
Spiral Rhythm has gone through many changes, but their goal has always been the same-to raise the spirit through voice and song. The group features Ric Neyer,
Kerri Upton, Kiki Williamson, Jon Skoglund, (four from the original group first named ‘Trybalaka’), Madison Cansler, Laurel Eris, Kathy Hardman, PJ Seale, and Mark Witters. All sing and play percussion. Kiki and PJ write the vast majority
of the group’s uplifting songs.
Spirit music, indeed!
Spiral Rhythm has released six CD‘s- ‘I Am‘, ‘Live @Turning Of the Year 2002’, ‘Roll Of Thunder’, and ‘Live at PSG 2004’,'Drum Circle', and 'Live '05' (Summer 05). Along with appearing at Musiphysical Productions happenings, they have been featured performers of PSG at Wisteria 2003- 2005, Spirit Awakening (St. Louis area), Atlanta, Chattanooga, Jacksonville, Greenville-Spartanburg Pagan Pride Days, festivals and gatherings throughout the Southeast, and beyond. Their inspiring music has been featured on WitchVox, Fellowship Of The Earth, Circle Of Souls, Goddess Internet Radio, and many other outlets across the U.S. and Canada.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Spiral Rhythm began as 'Trybalaka' in 1995 and once had as many as 18 members singing and drumming around bonfires and gatherings. 'Trybalaka' split and the original members- Kerri Upton, Ric Neyer, Jon Skoglund, and Kiki Williamson named themselves 'Spiral Rhythm', and added Alan Boehm, Mark Davis, Trey Martin (these three departing after the first CD-'I Am'), and Madison Cansler. Mark Witters-the group's only producer- became a full member shortly thereafter, joined by Kathy Hardman in 2003 and Laurel Eris in 2004.
