"Rishi's Garden", Tom Prasada-Rao

"Rishi's Garden", performed by Tom Prasada-Rao (www.tomprasadarao.com) with Patty Prasada-Rao, Doug Allen Wilcox & Todd Marcus in concert at the Institute of Musical Traditions (www.imtfolk.org),Takoma Park, MD, USA on May 18, 2011.

Tom Prasada-Rao is a singer-songwriter of breathtaking vision. His voice belies his musicianship and his extraordinary songs. From Rishi's Garden with it's homage to Ravi Shankar to the groove of Sleeping Beauty , Tom's music is melodic, ambitious, and reverent.

When not on tour, Tom is at home, producing records, raising two stepdaughters, and walking one rather large Golden Doodle named Thurman. In addition to producing, he's a teacher, currently at White Rock Montessori in Dallas, formerly of The University of Virginia's Young Writer's Workshops - where he created the songwriting curriculum and taught for eight years.

Yepper! sometimes it all comes together. Tom nails the song with sister Patty. I am so happy and proud that we had Art Isaacs on sound (thanks man) and Ralph Lillie directing the 3 camera shoot. Doug Alan Wilcox playing djembe in tabla style. And a bari clarinet to boot! TP in his hometown TP!
