ATHICA Sonic Space presents: The RIshis with Wet Meadows on Saturday, April 27th. The Rishis duo of Ranjan Kumar and Sofie Lute hail from Athens/Atlanta, and Tacoma, WA. The duo has been playing folk rock tunes together for a decade.
They released their debut record in 2023 on John Kiran Fernandes’ Elephant 6 affiliated record label, Cloud Recordings.
E6 alumni friends helping in it's creation include Scott Spillane (Neutral Milk Hotel), John Kiran Fernades (Olivia Tremor Control), Andrew Rieger (Elf Power), James Huggins III (Of Montreal), Andy Gonzalez (Marshmallow Coast), Peter Alvanos (Sunshine Fix and Elf Power), Lucy Calhoun (Dixie Blood Mustache), Todd Kelly (Phosphorescent and the Great Lakes), Wild Rumpus founder Timi Conley, and co-producer Chris Byron.
The Rishis have expanded to a full band with a rotating cast of musicians playing psychedelic folk tunes with tinges of world music mixed in.
