Srinivas Reddy is an Indian-American sitarist, guitarist and composer. In 1998 he came under the tutelage of Sri Partha Chatterjee, a direct disciple of the later sitar maestro Pandit Nikhil Banerjee. Since then Srinivas has rigorously trained with his teacher in the traditional guru-shishya style. Studying both here and abroad, Srinivas continues to imbibe and reflect the subtleties of the Hindustani musical tradition. Srinivas is a professional concert sitarist and has given numerous recitals in the US and in India. He lives in the San Francisco Bay Area where he teaches and performs regularly.

Sameer Gupta is becoming an original musical voice in jazz, world, and fusion music. He has studied percussion for most of his life beginning in Tokyo, Japan 1985, and since then has consistently placed himself in many challenging musical environments. From bebop to avant-garde jazz, and European
classical percussion to North Indian classical tabla playing; Sameer chooses to have a mature relationship with music from a perspective that now bridges several continents.
