Shane Shanahan Trio (Live Music!)

Shane Shanahan, renowned for his decades of work with Yo-Yo Ma’s Silkroad Ensemble, brings his mesmerizing percussion artistry to the Puffin. His powerhouse world music trio features Harvey Valdes on Arabic Oud and Electric Guitar, and Megan Gould on Violin. The trio’s music is a celebration of cross-cultural collaboration and the transcendent beauty of collective creation. Shane’s original compositions weave together Indian, Middle Eastern, jazz, rock, and minimalist traditions, providing a generous platform for the trio to craft a dynamic new sound. Their performance is an electrifying journey through sound, spirit, and tradition. Together, they take us on a journey that draws us into their search for hope, humanity, and connection across differences. “By the time he finished in a virtuosic jester’s dance, limbs flying as he whirled back and forth between doumbek, cymbals and body parts, the audience roared with delight.” – The New York Times “Shane’s creativity comes from his ability to draw from the energy of the universe.” – Yo-Yo Ma
