About Me



A passport into a musical endeavor that touches its conspirator's ethnic, spiritual, literal and musical influences, while translating them into a perfect musical balance of old world nostalgia and modern experimentation.

Remarkable: Visa is old-soul, take-you-to-another-place music. At its finest.A side project that just had legs too strong for it to keep marinating in the backseat, Visa’s grown into an eight-member, world music phenomena. It’s poignantly emotive, hard-charging, no-boundary folk that’ll lift you out of your seat whether you’re a hard-to-please grandparent or a punk-rocking prep.Every piece – percussion, duduk, three guitars, keys, drums, bass and voice – fits in just so.So well that songs fly past. So well that results are startlingly beautiful. So well that Visa might just be perfect. ~ Mirjam Swanson
