Janam at Red Poppy Oct 14 + So Cal tour & more

[Juliana Graffagna]

Hi folks!
We're thrilled to be playing at a variety of interesting venues this month and next & we've got lots of new tunes to share, so please join us...
Next Friday, it's the Red Poppy Art House, a cozy, funky venue where you can hear us up close and personal-like. The following night, we're playing in a great world music series at the lovely Cal State Sacto recital hall, and at the end of the month, on the water in Emeryville! In November, we head to southern CA so please spread the word to your friends in the LA, Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo areas.

We hope to see you!

Juliana, Tom, Peter, Dan and Gari

“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!
