Brother Ong

Brother Ong is the reincarnation of Mike Tamburo. He currently pursues his musical and spiritual interests in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania - playing the shahi baaja, harmonica, hammered dulcimer, guitar, gong, singing bowls, swarmandal, bells, tanpura, voice, percussion, keys and electronics. He teaches and practices Kundalini Yoga and Sound Yoga/Healing. He focuses on using sound to envelop and transform his students, clients and listeners.

UPDATED: Chris Forsyth

Alex Turnquist has had to cancel this appearance--we hope to book him in the near future. In his place, a fabulous musician from Philadelphia:

Guitarist Chris Forsyth's hypnotic compositions assimilate art rock texture with folk, blues, and experimental influences. His 2012 Kenzo Deluxe LP/CD on Northern Spy has been described as "resonant [and] incisive... a cosmic abstraction of the American guitar tradition, reducing blues, rock, folk and improvisation into their spare, hypnotic base elements." (Philadelphis City Paper). Forsyth was awarded a 2011 Pew Fellowship in the Arts and resides in the City of Philadelphia, USA.
