Shamsi Ruhe is a black, female queer person who dances with severe mental illness and sings folk, pop and country. Her rich and powerful voice moves listeners deeply. Shamsi was signed to Mercury Records in younger years and subsequently signed by Chris Blackwell to Palm Pictures. Her current work is in close community. It is a gift when she takes the stage to share her wisdom through story and song. https://shamsiruhe.bandcamp.com/music
