Janam southland shows Nov 10-12

[Juliana Graffagna]

Dearest Friends of Janam,
    Happy November! Since it's feeling so wintery, we've decided to migrate south for a while...Altadena, Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo this Thursday, Friday and Saturday.  We will serenade you with dulcet & rhythmic sounds in some wonderful ambient listening spaces. We look forward to seeing you and please do spread the word.

Ciao,

Juliana, Gari, Dan, Peter and Tom

Janam’s debut album is available at: http://cdbaby.com/cd/Janam

“An innovative ensemble that explores a dizzying range of styles, from Appalachia and Asia Minor to Eastern Europe. The quintet plays swirling, hard-driving music that always seems to end up in unexpected places.” SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE

“This fine group goes on a world tour of Eastern Europe…with no cultural jet lag.” SANTA BARBARA INDEPENDENT

 “They’re a band to watch, with some sterling musicianship and a real sense of fervor about them.” SING OUT!
