[Tsumi]sounds like a folk-rock band featuring a female singer with a powerful voice like a river of molasses --deep, dark, slow and sweet, a skilled lead guitarist with quick fingers and a knack for nuanced harmonies... Together they produce an almost tangible chemistry. -Daily Nebraskan May 2004. - Daily Nebraskan

Bio
The word Tsumi means many things. In Korean it means "diva". In Japanese "innocent sin". In Hebrew "tsumet lev" means "natural attention". The band Tsumi commands a great deal of attention!
Tsumi is fronted by the fiery and exciting Heather Sticka. She is joined by Luke Sticka, Brandon Filbert and Stanley Sticka. Based in Lincoln Nebraska, the band consistently draws large crowds at The Zoo bar and Knickerbockers. They have also shared stages with many regional and national touring acts.
Tsumi is a successful hybrid of blues-based and indie-rock music. The band's sound is a unique - like a perfect blend of Chrissie Hynde and Dave Matthews.
Tsumi's latest album, Unhappy Things, is due to be released July 19th. Material already exists for follow-up recordings, guaranteeing that Tsumi is a name that you will be hearing for a long time to come.
