AUTORICKSHAW to perform at Eats & Beats in Riverside Street Fest!

foothills-390

As part of Riverside’s Eats & Beats Street Fest, AUTORICKSHAW will be performing at the 6th annual Munro St. Party and they will take you on a magical music carpet ride.

Eats & Beats’ Munro street party will be an eclectic mix of world music, instrument making, and an overall fun time in a Bedouin tent-like setting.

Autorickshaw’s music with sitarist Chris Hale, lies on the cultural cutting edge, as contemporary jazz, funk and folk easily rub shoulders with the classical and popular music of India.

Formed in 2003, Autorickshaw is one of the most intriguing acts on the world music and jazz landscapes, garnering 2004 and 2007 JUNO nominations for World

Music Album of the Year, winning a Canadian Independent Music Award in 2005,  and a John Lennon Songwriting Competition Grand Prize in World Music and the  CAPACOA Touring Artist of the Year award, both in 2008.

Autorickshaw is committed to their role as music educators through school performances, lecture demonstrations, workshops and master classes on topics as diverse as jazz improvisation, South Indian and western vocal/choral technique as well as percussion from around the world.

Autorickshaw will be performing at 4:30pm, but check out our eventbrite for the complete Eats & Beats in Riverside Street Fest programming (tickets aren’t mandatory, they just help us know how many people to expect). riversideeatsbeats.eventbrite.com
