MOTHER TURTLE

Mother Turtle (a.k.a Marsia Shuron Harris), performs solo and with band. Her brand of SoulRock is said to "inspire even the most cynical bastard to dance" (Northeast Performer Magazine). Songs are soulful, 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, led by Mothers' distinctive voice. Even vocal virtuoso Martin Sexton says that Marsia has “the deepest, darkest, most delicious voice.” She has opened for Sexton as well as other recording artist’s such as, Meshell Ndegeocello, Jeffrey Gaines, Vance Gilbert, and others. In the summer of 2004, Marsia formed 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 percussionist Busta B. an accomplished African drummer from the Bamidele Dance and Drum Troupe, keeps the grooves upbeat and danceable. On bass is the exceptional, Peter Kim, who replaced original Mother T. bassist Adam Bergeron in 2005. Each member of Mother Turtle brings something very different to the group, resulting in music that moves not only your hips but hopefully your heart as well.

In the early ‘90’s Marsia Shuron Harris debuted with a seven-piece band at the Hatch Shell on the Boston Esplanade. She was welcomed into Boston’s active acoustic music scene and her music played regularly on college radio and other local stations. A self-taught musician, Marsia honed her skills while performing on the streets of Harvard Square and at Boston area clubs and coffeehouses. In 1994 Marsia joined forces with fellow singer/songwriter Adrienne and formed the duo AYE, an original world, folk and rock group ( myspace.com/theduoaye ). The two garnered rave reviews and released their well-received CD, “Sweet Life” before disbanding in 2002. Marsia has performed solo and with AYE at numerous venues throughout the Northeast. Places such as the Bitter End, Sidewalk Café, Iron Horse Music Hall, Middle East Café, Club Passim and others. She has also showcased at NACA and performed at many colleges and festivals. Her vocals can be heard on a variety of recording projects including an interactive theatre exhibit produced by Peace River Films and she has also co-written songs for a national curriculum program on AIDS awareness, entitled “Staying out of the Risky Zone.” Recently, Marsia’s voice is featured on a Grammy listed score by composer Ruth Mendelson , which can be heard as part of a nationally touring exhibit presently on display at the New England Aquarium. She is a two-time Lilith Fair finalist, whose songs range from soulful ballads to groove laden rock-n-roll. An engaging performer, Boston Women’s Voice says, “on stage, she’s magic.” Whether with the band, or armed only with her voice and guitar, Mother Turtle is a talent worth checking out.
