FMS: Clay Ross & Harini Raghavan- An Acoustic Engagement w/the music of APQ
About this Event
While American Patchwork Quartet has captivated audiences on stages from Carnegie Hall to the Grand Ole Opry and earned a Grammy nomination for its debut album, this special acoustic performance offers something different: a chance to experience the music up close.
Featuring APQ founder Clay Ross and vocalist/violinist Harini Raghavan, this intimate concert reimagines selections from the quartet’s celebrated repertoire for two musicians, creating an evening that is both deeply personal and musically adventurous. Blending folk traditions, global influences, virtuosic musicianship, and engaging storytelling, we invite audiences into the creative heart of a project that has been praised for illuminating the many cultural roots of American music. It should be an unforgettable evening of songs, stories, and musical connection.
Clay Ross is a 2x Grammy Award-winning artist and the founder of the Billboard chart-topping band Ranky Tanky. A native of South Carolina, Ross moved to NYC in 2002 and has since collaborated with artists as diverse as Gregory Porter, Snarky Puppy, and Bobby McFerrin. Winning multiple grants through the U.S. State Department, he has toured worldwide as a Cultural Ambassador.
