After the beautiful success of our sold out tour in June, we’re hitting the road in November to bring ‘The In Tune With The Infinite’ tour back across the UK. We can’t wait to experience these evenings of profound transformation with you!
Thank You!
WOW! What an incredibly profound journey the ‘In Tune With The Infinite’ tour was for us and for all of those who came along! We’ve been so deeply touched by all the heartfelt words of the audiences, and the countless messages we have since received. These evenings have been astounding, full of an ethereal, evanescent energy with emotions encircling each room like a otherworldly river carrying us collectively into a profound metamorphosis. It’s such an exciting model in supporting grass roots artistry and has been a monumental achievement for us to have sold out all the tickets we published for all four venues and to have been blessed with standing ovations for every performance. Words can’t quite express how full our hearts are and how deeply moved we are by all of your support and extensive, core connection to our work.
To share the stage with was these incredible musicians James Osler, Fraser Bowles, Andrew Stuart Buttle, Jools Owens and Alfie Weedon has been the greatest honour for us. We want to also say a huge special thank you to the astounding ‘Pillow’ for bringing such profundity to the opening scene of each evening, to Leo at Rafiki Studio for your golden imagery in documenting the event to and to James Clements for capturing the audio and being our second pair of ears. Also a big shout out to all the wonderful venues for hosting us!
We’d also like to take this opportunity to thank Julian Barber at Piano Lobby for providing us with a seriously beautiful piano made by Hailun Pianos for our London performance and to the incredible team at Help Musicians for their unwavering support in our project.
The success of this tour has prompted our next venture in November where we will be bringing a intimate blend of baron, guitars, piano and strings back on the road. We’re delighted to announce the first run of shows which will be:
Brighton - 8th November - The Rose Hill
London - 9th November - The Old Church
There are limited tickets so don’t hesitate!
June Tour
Here are some photographs from our beautifully profound performance at the foot of the Preseli’s last Sunday, where we took to the round with the wondrous ‘Pillow’ as support. Close to the summer equinox, we celebrated the setting of the summer sun with a wash of gongs and transcendental musings into the depths of our eponymous record.
This Friday, we celebrate the summer equinox in the Church of St Michaels where the notion of the in tune with the infinite tour all began, almost precisely 6 months on from our winter equinox celebration last December. Only a handful of tickets remain for both our Brighton show at St Michaels church and in London the following day at Proposition Studios where we will be exhibiting a range of dark room photographs and prints.
Join us for this special special celebration of this record.
Doors open at 7:30pm and tickets can be found here
With love and Gratitude

Thank you to ‘The Arts Desk’ for the wonderfully insightful review!
KLOF Magazine Review
Their third, self-titled LP, ensnares listeners in a world of inner hearts and complex feelings. Providing a view of the internal reaches of the soul, one is exposed to passion and pain that sometimes provoke furious flurries of sound exploding into the air. Samana is an album that haunts your inner reaches. As a band, Samana examines the soul, leaving one to start or restart life from a different, more enlightened point of view.
What they have created is masterful

Thank you to Mojo Magazine and RnR magazine for the four star review!
'SAMANA' Album Out Today!
Our self-titled album is out today!
An album that explores notions of ceremony, the transposing of grief, the subconscious mind and the philosophy of dream-time.
Dear Friends,
Today marks the release of our third record, ‘SAMANA’! An album that explores notions of ceremony, the transposing of grief, the subconscious mind and the philosophy of dream-time, it honours a profound moment in both of our lives, in coming back to the core of our being.
A years worth of emotion, excavation, unity and unbridled devotion has accumulated to this point - for the work to be in your hands, in your ears and heart. May you embrace this music with all your senses and may it offer you in turn, a beautiful passage into sincere feeling; to guide you downstream.
Above all else, we would like to thank all of you, who have embarked on our journey since the conception of SAMANA, and to all of those who have joined along the way. We send to you nothing but love.
“Happiness is only real when shared” - Christopher McCandless
With Heart,
Samana
Pre-Save
It’s just three weeks to go until we release our third album ‘SAMANA’ on May 24th! This album is a philosophical intersection between somatics, ceremony, dreams and the alchemy of grief. We feel so touched by all of you who have pre-ordered the album and bought tickets to our tour in June!
✶ You can now pre-save the album here ✶
“Harnessing the profundity of the spirit and carrying it into the studio, Rebecca and Franklin devoted themselves to making an album that takes listeners to the origin of the philosophy and sentiment that lies at the hearts of two such trailblazers, in a truthful, honest and unflinchingly sincere body of work. Inviting kindred artists into the fold for the first time, they pushed themselves to burrow into the very roots of their life experience and love – to sink into the divine.
The result is their third full-length album, a self-titled collection which reflects the truly personal nature of the work found within. Formed of nine songs, where the pair previously pulled inspiration from the world around them, here they dig deep into their souls to thread the new pieces together.
And so, charged by the current toil we face from climate change and the geopolitical landscape, the Samana LP takes inspiration from Rebecca’s dream diary - which she’s kept for more than a decade - and offers an unflinching exploration of the alchemy of grief; a key element underpinning much of her work. It drifts - or perhaps overlaps - the very real world around us while at the same time leaning into those places we perhaps can’t see or feel but know to exist.” - Tom Johnson
In the throws of transcendence unfurls the metamorphosis of unity.
“You do not have a soul. You are a soul. You have a body.”
-C.S Lewis
In Tune With the infinite Tour - June
We are delighted to say that tickets are selling fast for our ‘In Tune With The Infinite’ tour in June! This music, this performance is an offering of sonic ceremony. It is a journey of healing and discovery, giving rise to emotion and interconnection, offering a plain in which to walk between the realms of the conscious and the unconscious, between the internal and external. We will be playing in the sacred shape of the round with chairs laid out in concentric circles, to receive. It will be an odyssey and one we can’t wait to encounter with you all.

Tour Dates
This June, The Road Records presents the ‘In Tune With The Infinite Tour’; an all artist-curated event, which will be taken to a small number of unique spaces around the UK. The Tour marks the release of SAMANA’s third album, which is a self titled record, and will be performed in the sacred circle of the round alongside their full string ensemble. Audience members will be immersed into an emotional dreamscape of vocals, bodhran, gongs, bells, horns, piano, electric guitars, double bass, drums, violin and cello.
BBC Radio Wales
Thank you Adam Walton for playing ‘The Knife’ on BBC Wales
“It’s such a brilliant, flashing, climax to the song!”
GOD IS IN THE TV
“Listen to the epic single ‘The Knife’, that swells majestically from subtle instrumentation and affecting tones of Rebecca Rose Harris, into a thrilling crescendo: an exhilarating release of noise and energy. “It feels to be a deliverance, a freeing of stored weight and emotion; the confrontation of somatic memory, an invitation for the physical self to shed these feelings stored. ”Their self titled third album has echoes of the otherworldly atmospherics of Nico, Mazzy Star, Keeley Forsyth, with a now bolstered (self) production canon that ranges from Ennio Morricone scores to Radiohead‘s more experimental moments.”
