How best to describe a live performance by Snatam Kaur and her band?
It’s all of these things and more. Seated center stage, Snatam is an angelic presence, dressed in traditional Sikh attire, bejeweled dress, white turban and veil. She’s a diminutive woman, barely five feet tall, but possessed of a voice that could wrest tears from a stone gargoyle — crystalline and radiant, redolent of the simple yet powerful truth of the heart.
That voice has made her one of the top selling artists in the field of world sacred music. Amid the swelling ranks of devotional divas and mantra mamas, Snatam stands tall.

As an innovative performer, she

dance and find "music in dance." She has most recently been featured as a
percussionist in "Finding Synesthesia," a collaboration with pianist Andy
Milne and vocalist Malika Zarra that premiered at 2007's London Jazz
Festival. Meanwhile, her new ensemble, CanTap, unites several of Canada's

A stellar nine-piece band, led by Gary Backstrom of Jiggle the Handle, will present an unprecedented evening of music written and recorded by Todd Rundgren—whose career spans more than 40 years.
In celebrating the 40th Anniversary of Todd Rundgren’s first solo album, “Runt,” released in 1970, Backstrom has pulled together some of his favorite Boston area musicians for the occasion. The resulting group—featuring members of The Gordon Stone Band, Jiggle the Handle, Gary Backstrom Band, Another Planet, Uncle Sammy, The Grass Gypsies, Humble Bee, and All the Animals—will be performing music from many of Rundgren’s albums from throughout the last four decades. As to why Todd Rundgren, Backstrom says; “I have found that I have outgrown some past influences such as The Dead and Allman Brothers and feel the need to challenge myself with something totally different. His [Rundgren’s] music touches me on a very deep, unspoken level and I have found a new world of musical inspiration in all different phases of his music.” In addition to Rundgren’s many instrumental albums to choose from, Gary will be performing a song off his album, “A Cappella”, in which every sound on the album is a product of Rundgren’s voice. For this performance Backstrom is bringing in the Family Folk Chorale.
