LATEST Album "Ricochet" available on all platforms

The Sheyana Band’s EP Ricochet came together during covid lockdown in Tasmania. Making the best of a bad situation and with plenty of time to reflect, Sheyana and the band focused on songwriting, and the the music emerged from those strange, uneasy times. The songs were the lights at the end of the tunnel, at a time when we were both separated and unified. Through the music and the artwork, this EP is a tribute to the loved ones we’ve lost along the way, and the big hearts working towards a higher love and respect for one another and our planet.

Led by captivating front-woman Sheyana Wijesingha, The Sheyana Band are receiving national and international recognition and airplay, they are favourites at major music festivals in Tasmania, and have supported iconic Australian musicians. 

“Sheyana knows what to do with an audience. Her soulful vocals and guitar are a breath of fresh air.”
  Diesel – Australian Musician
