InSession
Five member ensemble of acoustic player InSession arrive to the Street Musicians Festival from Slovenia, more precisely: from Maribor. Tamara Pešić, on lead vocals, Matej Tisaj, on percussions, Mihael Miško, on bass, and Dejan Damjanović and Vid Visočnik on guitar, performing original and cover pop and rock tracks, while they explain the name of the band like this:
– After several jams, we found our direction, and, after many broken strings, we chose the name InSession. The name consists of words that best describe us as a band, and those are instrumental and (jam)session. Although, the similarity with the word insane is no coincidence.
They do not keep rigidly to any particular musical genre, but, they simply play. “We are a young band of acoustic players and our musical direction could be summed up in the words play what your heart desires. The idea is simple: music is born in the heart, so that it could, with the help of instruments and vocals, find the path to the heart of the listeners.”
They say that they love to play in the street above all else. “When you play in different cities, with a hat in front of you, when you brighten up the day to a small child, return an old couple to a time past filled, or catch a smile of a young lady, all that is priceless. That’s some other world!”
The young Slovenian acoustic band behind them have performances in Italy, Germany, Holland, Belgium… Of course, they are overwhelmed by their arrival on the Street Musicians Festival. “Presenting ourselves on an event of street artists in Novi Sad – for us is a new perspective, but also an opportunity to expand our music even more, this time to the Balkans.”
