Shen's News: Writing to you from Ocean Shores where Taro & I have just had a lovely concert with guitarist Tarshito and flute player Paul Kimmel. Bamboo Bliss at Brisbane City Hall was fantastic - big thanks to sponsors Shikara Design for the beautiful stage-design as well as ongoing support. Read a brief review and check photos here: Bamboo Bliss - photos on DivineArts.net
We continue our tour this week with an Indian classical concert in Maleny at the UpFront Club on Thursday. We then join a very special event on Saturday - Global Soul Music Vol 4 - EthnoSuperLounge Xmas Party at Core Yoga in West End, a gathering of a lot of the musicians I've been working with in the last few months including Taro, Tenzin, Asim, the smooth jazz vibes of Ravi, Robert and Magambo and many more. Then on Sunday it's off to Noosa for a Tibet2Timbuk2 concert featuring Tenzin and Taro. In the following weeks we're off to Melbourne, Woodford and finish up with some nice home and temple concerts in the new year.
There's also been a major emergency at home this weekend, and we are without electricity for an unknown period. So I may well be sparing your inbox for the next few weeks, and won't be so responsive on the emails... Read about it here: Life without electricity @ Rosecliffe.
