Tarana kicked off 2011 in an auspicious way with a performance at the prestigious Krannert Center for Performing Arts, Urbana, IL, on January 22. Joining me on violin was the amazing Trina Basu.

So psyched to be playing in the 2010 Editions of The Guelph Jazz Festival (sharing the billing with Charles Lloyd, George Lewis, Us. Zakir Hussain, Chicago Underground Duo, Kid Koala, et al) as well as LOLA Fest (where we shift gears, sharing the billing with some amazing/cutting-edge Indie-artists such as Caribou, Fond Of Tigers, Rhys Chatham, Jamie Lidell, DJ Spooky, Lee Ranaldo, et al)

Tarana heads to Austin, TX, to perform at the New Music and Sound Summit (NMASS) on June 19th.
The festival is a three day summit of creative music including performance art, film, and installations :: a positive alternative to predictable music festival ‘business as usual’, according to their site. We’ve been working on this one since March, so we’re really excited about it. Expect collaborations with local Austin musicians as well! Following this, we’re also going to be performing in Dallas (June 20th) and New Orleans (June 21st) as part of the tour.
The tour of Mexico was a success! We had unbelievably amazing and open-minded audiences everywhere. On the second night of the tour, in Aguascalientes, we played to an audience of 700+ folks who kept us on for an encore, which was fortunately captured on video here:

We’ll be playing a show on the UNAM campus on May 14th. We’re also going to be playing shows in Guanajuato, Districto Federal (DF), Queretaro, a Jazz Festival in Aguascalientes, 2 nights at the premier Zinco Jazz Club (DF) and a collaboration with local musicians in Cuernavaca, during our very first tour of Mexico (May 7-17). Details can be found on the “2010 shows” page.
This upcoming US Mid-west tour (16-22) takes me back to my Alma mater, Carnegie Mellon University, for a workshop at the Music Department as well as a performance at The Underground. The Mid-west is always been a favorite touring area for me, with its plethora of college venues, progressive campus-radio stations and eager audiences. We will also be returning to St. Louis after 5 years. Other scheduled stops include our debut in Columbus, OH and Madison, WI as well.
Details can be found on the “2010 shows” page, and also at: Fanbridge.
