Singer, songwriter and guitarist Khari Green is one of those artists that doesn’t just step over limitations of age, class or gender—he tears through demographic boundaries like he has lava on his feet. His debut cd was released under the name Sākrid, a 3 piece band which emerged from the depths of the underground scene in Washington, D.C. This is Funk-Rock at its finest. This is Heavy Soul Music. Twisting your body into movement despite yourself with a rhythm section that pulls people off the street and into a packed club, and then surprise!-capturing your ears, your mind and your heart; speaking of passions and desires most people dare not put in to words.
You are marinated in the blues, tossed around in Rock & Roll that Jimi Hendrix himself would be grooving to, and then you are broiled in Funk. It is rebellion for the young, and a throwback to when music moved your body and soul for us all. Sexy, funky, captivating, heavy . . . and soulful.
Sākrid established a loyal following generated from their jaw-dropping live performances, before quietly disbanding upon Khari's departure in pursuit of other artisic interests, including a solo project under his own name.
