SHEBATAR is a collection of a decades's worth of live performance works. Political rants to vulnerable love stories, this three disc album takes you through a calculated journey of writing comparable to the rush after cliff jumping. From Africa to Los Angeles the unaltered, unedited, uncontrived response from each audience is the same: rupture.
