A scetch of Sohrab by Nasser @ Bossa (Washington DC), August 11, 2013
SoSaLa will be playing up to 4 concerts in Baltimore and Washington DC next month.
Sohrab invited three talented local musicians from Baltimore and DC to be part of the SoSaLa music collective.
This time the members are: Sohrab Saadat Ladjevardi on sax and vocals, Rob Coltun on electric guitar, Luke Stewart on electric bass guitar and Warren G. Crudup III on drums. And maybe some guest appearances by local musicians.
Besides playing these concerts Sohrab is going to promote his campaign Enough Is Enough NY (please “like” it) on and off stage and in radio interviews. Around this time the campaign song Enough Is Enough NY will be available as a download and will premier in the radio interviews.
