Tabla master Sandeep Das, of Yo-Yo Ma's Silk Road Ensemble, and bassist Blake Newman--who has appeared as a soloist at Carnegie & Alice Tully Hall and is a regular member of the Jeff Robinson Trio-- join EVIYAN for an evening of original works inspired by Eastern European folk music, Indian classical music, jazz, rock, cabaret, and minimalism.

AARON BOYD INTERVIEW ON WGBH
“Rangell… is a near-legendary artist of both prodigious technique and enormous inner resource… [He] is a throwback to the days of the poet-musician, to Liszt, Gottschalk and Nyíregyházi.” Boston Music Intelligencer
"...Boyd sets people on the edge of their seats with his playing.." Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
