Bassel & The Supernaturals tells the story of Bassel Almadani's experience as a first generation Syrian-American using soulful melodies, funk inspired rhythms, and captivating lyrics regarding love, loss, and the feeling of “otherness”. Echoing Stevie Wonder’s rhythm and blues, Jamiroquai’s social justice centered lyricism over jazz-infused funk, and Steely Dan’s seamless blend of American music, Bassel & The Supernaturals evoke joy and thoughtfulness from audiences across the globe. Deeply inspired by Otis Redding, Bassel uses the stage as a vehicle to unite his listeners and share the story of his cultural duality. The band has performed in over 400 concerts on stages that include SXSW, John F. Kennedy Center, The Cleveland Museum of Art, Summerfest, Millennium Park – and now Whitefish, MT!
