Sitar & Guitar Duo

Sitar player J.J. Gregg and guitarist David Van Auken present their “collaboration for 24-strings”, merging South Asian classical sitar and American finger-style guitar. Salem-based J.J. Gregg performs lyrical and highly emotive improvisations on sitar, known to guide listeners on a musical journey.  David Van Auken, a Portland-based American instrumental guitarist, makes contemporary compositions that extract from early acoustic country-blues traditions. Their collaborative songwriting is gentle, playful, raucous, contemplative, placid, visionary, unpredictable, and captivating. From lullabies to blues, ragas to tunes, J.J. and David craft an immersive musical experience not to be missed.
