Essra Mohawk Facts

In December 1968, she released her debut album titled Sandy’s Album is Here at Last as Sandy Hurvitz.

Essra Mohawk’s album Primordial Lovers was released in May 1970 via Reprise Records and on AllMusic Charles Donovan said, “Primordial Lovers is assured of its status as an unsung classic. All who hear it, and there aren’t enough, are bewitched by its esoteric poetry, unguarded passion, and great tunes…. Mohawk is a wondrous creature of contrasts: simultaneously urbane and nature-loving, knowing and naïve, all-powerful yet unabashedly vulnerable at the same time. Her voice is a remarkable instrument…”

In the mid-1970s, she provided her vocals to 3 episodes (titled – Interjections!, Mother Necessity, and Sufferin’ Till Suffrage) of the Saturday morning TV series Schoolhouse Rock!.

Essra Mohawk did voiceover work for a short animated film titled Sufferin’ Till You’re Straight in 2011. The film was based on the struggle for gay rights.

She was a member of the board of Musicians and Artists for Peace and served as their Nashville coordinator.
