Two exciting artists from the Bay Area, Matthew Montfort and Mariah Parker, will appear at the Folly Bowl Aug. 1 in the Swanirvar Annual Fundraiser Fusion Music Concert.
Matthew Montfort is the leader of the world fusion music ensemble Ancient Future. An award-winning guitarist (Louis Armstrong Jazz Award), he is a pioneer of the scalloped fretboard guitar (an instrument combining qualities of the South Indian veena and the steel string guitar).
Mariah Parker blends the rhythmic syncopations of Latin jazz music with the entrancing, asymmetrical meters of East Indian rhythms.
The concert will be held Sun., Aug. 1, at 7:30 PM at the Folly Bowl, 1601 E. Loma Alta Dr. Doors open at 7 PM. Suggested donation is $20. Wear casual attire, and bring cushions and/or blankets, and bring your own light refreshments.
Call (714) 572-3781 or (626) 797-1670 for more information.
UPDATE: We found this YouTube version of the two as the duo version of Ancient Future, and it's pretty cool:
