[Stephanie Scherpf]

Greetings! If you want to be transported... hope you can join us on Thursday! Card to Culture tickets available. 

You've probably heard him, you just didn't know it. Peter Gabriel. Talking Heads. Yoko Ono. PIL. Echo & the Bunnymen. Phil Collins. And the Grammy-nominated Passion soundtrack for Scorsese's The Last Temptation of Christ. That's L. Shankar. He's playing Arts at the Armory (Somerville, MA) this Thursday, September 17: ragas, original compositions, and classic Shakti pieces, with Selvaganesh Vinayakram and Amit Kavthekar, and Selvaganesh's son, Swaminathan Selvaganesh. Doors open at 7pm, the music starts at 8pm with Santoor player Kunal Gunjal to open.
