Last month I had the honor of making a guest appearance on my teacher Guitar Prasanna's concert in Terazza 7 in New York Queens. This is a special moment since this is the first time I am ever playing with him live in-person (since we always meet on Zoom meeting) and also this is the first time I am playing on a show with a live band. What is even more crazy is none of us rehearsed for this and the concert was a live improv for everybody while on stage. That's a pretty awesome experience for my first live concert in the US! I had a lot of fun and created many fond memories. Thank you so much Guitar Prasanna for inviting me and also thank you to the amazing band Shalini (Vocals), Panagiotis Andreou (Bass), Manu Koch (Piano/keyboards) and Engyn Gunaydin (Drums). It was an honor playing live music with these incredibly talented musicians! Also a special thanks to Terazza 7 and the owner Freddy, who is so awesome and it was so great meeting him.
