<itunes:summary>Having played in and around Phoenix for almost nine years, Sistrum is a testament to hard work and persistence.  Featuring the powerful voice and lyrics of Wendy Rae Mason (Formerly of the all-female Phoenix hard rock band, Whiskey Blu), the band's unique style of soulful, melodic, and edgy rock has kept the fans coming back time and time again.  Up until now undeniable raw talent and a captivating live show has driven the band’s success. <br />
<br />
Like the ancient instrument from which the band derived its name, Sistrum takes its inspiration from the universal elements and from all corners of musical influence. Hailing from Phoenix, Arizona, the band combines an earthy element from country, a moody and soulful component from the blues, and the edgy elements of rock and metal to form a modern and uncompromising sound that is all their own.  <br />
<br />
At the heart of Sistrum is Wendy Rae Mason’s writing. Her autobiography is played out in prose, while allowing the performance to add the punctuation. The heartfelt delivery is never lost on a Sistrum audience. It’s rare when an original band creates and nurtures such an allegiant following. Sistrum fans follow and support the group knowing the words and the band by heart. <br />
<br />
Sistrum's catalog of music is easy to feel. Straight-ahead and soulful, the delivery is decidedly uncluttered. After nine years the band is not predictable, just solid. Wise beyond their years and worldly beyond their desert borders, it's easy to imagine Sistrum playing an arena or roadhouse. Whatever the surroundings, they are a good fit.<br />
