For Sid Sriram, there is a quality inherent in the Carnatic music of South India that he describes as “universal truth.” The singer/songwriter has spent years imparting this truth to audiences in India and across the world; today, he ranks as one of the most popular Bollywood singers of the past decade. On his new English-language album Sidharth, he departs from the musical lineage of his family’s home country, where he has lived since 2015, and draws on the R&B, indie rock, and American pop styles he grew up with in California in the ’90s and 2000s.
Indian film songs will not be performed during this concert.
