Spiral Rhythm is a group of friends that have been singing together for over two decades. They began singing at bonfires, gatherings, and festivals. Over time they have developed a unique sound complete with deep, multi-textured chants and explosive drums. Spiral Rhythm has evolved and changed, but their goal has always been the same-to raise the spirit through voice and song.
The group features:
Kerri Upton, Kiki Williamson,
Ric Neyer, Jon Skoglund,
Kira Lang & Richard Williamson
On Friday, February 11, 2022, Spiral Rhythm lost a friend, songwriter, and voice when our beloved PJ Seale passed through the veil. She touched many lives with her music and her generous spirit, and while her songs will live on, she will be deeply missed.
“Spiral Rhythm brings sacred songs that raise energy and uplift hearts to your event. Fun, friendly and rocking great music, I often find myself scrolling their calendar to decide what festivals I want to attend. I don’t mean to be a fan girl. I just am.” –Belladonna Laveau, http://atcwicca.org Aquarian Tabernacle Church
“The primal music of Spiral Rhythm resonates with the earthy heartbeat of the Pagan soul.” — William Brigley, http://internationalpaganradio.com/
“Spiral Rhythm’s music is some of the most accessible I’ve experienced at any live show in the past five years: welcoming, straightforward, and galvanizing. I dare you not to dance.” –S. J. Tucker, http://sjtucker.com
A vast majority of our songs are original and all of our music is a co-creative effort.
Spirit music, indeed!
“Justice! Equality! Freedom! Autonomy!”
Spiral Rhythm is taking part in the compilation The Red Album: Pagan Voices for Reproductive Rights, and they are proud to lend their voices to the cause. They say: “We are a pagan band with deep roots in our community. Our song, Mother Of, is an invocation of the primal Mother, an invocation for the most basic of human rights. Rights cannot be given, they can only be taken away, and no law should take away a person’s right or access to reproductive care.
