Sandhya

Recorded on 5/12/22

In a primarily solo piano/voice show featuring songs from the album and an eclectic selection of cover and older originals, Sandhya will be joined by two of the many musicians who participated in INNOCENT MONSTER: Mark St. Pierre on percussion and Piper Greenbaum on French horn and vocals.

Sandhya, charismatic pianist-singer-composer and freewheeling interpreter of rock, pop, and jazz classics, in a live and streaming show. A multi-discipline creative force in Baltimore-Washington since the 90s, Sandy Asirvatham, now going by her original Indian first name, is celebrating her latest recording project, the jazzy art-rock album INNOCENT MONSTER.

A wannabe novelist in her youth, Sandhya's earliest successes came as an award-winning columnist for Baltimore CityPaper, and later as an Emmy-winning PSA producer/writer. She got serious about music when trying to escape personal crises through obsessive piano practice. (It worked.) Her first album of mostly originals, MEMOIR (2007) was chosen by W. Royal Stokes as a Best Jazz Debut of the year in The Village Voice. She was the visionary behind MOBTOWN MOON (2013), a massive Pink Floyd homage for which she gathered 40+ collaborators from the mid-Atlantic's vibrant, varied music scenes.

All Sandhya's music, whether original or reinvented, aims for one-of-a-kind. Michael Buckley of WRNR calls Sandhya an "innovator" adept at "crossing invisible musical boundaries."
