Bio:

Fearful Symmetry is a studio-based project, originally created in 2018 by cousins Suzi James and Jeremy Shotts, who wanted to create something new from all the music they've enjoyed listening to - “an affectionate homage to classic prog, but contemporary sounding compositions, that cross different sub-genres, and aim to convey a familiar sound and feel”.

 

‘I’ve Started, So I’ll Finish…’ is Fearful Symmetry's third album, and reflects the on-going approach to fusing many different styles and influences.

 

Multi-instrumentalist Suzi, is again joined by Yael Shotts (vocals), and Sharon Petrover (drums).Most of the instrumentation is provided by Suzi, who started playing guitar semi-professionally in bands in the 1970s, from blues to prog rock, covers, and some session work. Suzi has added bass, keyboards, flute, violin, oud, and mandolin to her skills.

 


Yael Shotts, vocalist, was writing and performing in her own rock band from her mid-teens, spent time as singer with a jazz combo, and has performed at a festival as part of the 'choir' for the operatic metal band 'Scardust'.

 

Sharon Petrover is a professional studio and performance drummer based in Tel Aviv, working in all genres of music, as well as teaching. He has recorded with Project RnL, Square To Check, Daniel Weiss, among many others.
