"Semantra" fuses psychedelic-funk sounds, poetry, and ethnic influences in their repertoire of both original music and classic rock. Their dynamic live shows showcase their trademark jams- reminiscent of "The Grateful Dead" and "The Doors", yet in a category of their own.

About Ben Draiman: Heavily influenced by the likes of Coldplay and Evanescence lies the soulful, melancholy, and sweet melodies of Ben Draiman.  This piano based musical journey will leave you teary eyed, but wanting more.
