Simple Souls

I just saw these ladies at the Blue Dragon on the Big Island and OMG, mind blown! They killed a medley of 90's jams (Kris Kross, Tupac...you name it, they nailed it!). If you have a chance to see them GO, you won't regret it.

Simple Souls is absolutely AMAZING. They blew me away every time I heard them (and after the first time, I went out of my way to hear them several more times, knowing my time on the island was unfortunately limited). Both of their voices are incredible -- rich, dynamic, versatile (hip-hop, pop/rock, ballads [only a few of the latter though, as these aren't napping performances], etc.), and with complementary ranges. And the variety of sound they get out of their two instruments is just incredible -- it's easy to forget that all they've got is a djembe and a guitar. This is also not your normal cover band (even your normal great cover band) -- Simple Souls puts their own spin on popular songs, which do the songs complete justice while not simply redoing what the original artists put out.I've recommended them to numerous people I know (plus a few strangers when I've found any possible excuse) and now I'm recommending them to you -- go see them! They're at LuLu's in Waikiki most Sunday nights (which doesn't have the best acoustics, unfortunately), and otherwise around the island.

These women rock! We loved them at first listen while on their website and later, I admit I was a little star struck to meet them in person. There's a lot of deep talent here and a love of their craft that really blew us away. We were absolutely honoured when they accepted to perform at our wedding and they absolutely wowed their audience, our guests. With amazing voices and a great ability to read and relate to everyone, you can tell that Zaysha and Jenn love what they do and they do it so well. Thanks guys for adding so much soul to our wedding day. (And make sure you catch them like we did at the Modern, we went to three shows along with some groups of our guests just to hear them!)

Enjoyed the music of Simple Souls at the MaiTai Bar! I haven't seen this kind of raw talent in a long time! I can't wait to get back to the Island to hear them again. I also bought their album and absolutely love the Beyoncé cover of Drunk in Love! You girls are awesome!

Saw them play at The Hideout in Waikiki on a Wednesday night. 2 people, amazing sound and singing talent! Loved their medleys and mashups. Had everything from Post Malone, Ready for the World, Groove Theory, Prince, Journey, Aaliyah, too many to remember, but we couldn't sit still in our seats.

If I can give them a higher rating than 5 stars, I definitely would! I went to The Study located in The Modern hotel in Waikiki and they were absolutely amazing. My husband and I took our friends to who came to visit from New York to The Study, and they to were also blown away by their performance. All the 90's songs they were singing was everything and more. My husband and I are definitely going back to see them again. :)

These ladies are the ABSOLUTE best duo / band that we have ever seen. As the other review shared, we, too, rearranged our visit in Honolulu to see them one more time. Yes, they are that good. Go see them....tell your friends.....maybe they will get booked in the mainland (CA :)). We had the pleasure of listening to them at the Modern Honolulu hotel on Hobron lane.

These women are EVERYTHING!!! Nothing but the truth! I was at the Ala Moana Center yesterday, quick trip after work just to pick up something. Needless to say, I was there far too long and my feet (in heels) were killing me to the point where I just wanted to take them off and walk barefoot to the car : ) I did not take them off because that would have been so un-classy and inappropriate, LOL. I sucked it up. I had a long walk from Macys to the food court where I was parked. Dreading every step, I heard Brandy's "Wanna Be Down" coming from upstairs, on 4th level Ho'okipa Terrace, as I passed under it. I was in awe of the way it was being covered! With aching feet, I had to make my way up there just to see who it was. I saw someone working at the bar and asked the name of the performers...Simple Souls!!! He said that he believes they are there every Thursday night. I was not ready to go home at that point. I sat down outside of the California Pizza Kitchen and listened to a few more songs and all I can say is PHENOMENAL!!! I'll definitely return to hear them again! I never write reviews but felt that I had to this time!!!
