• CULTURALLY DIVERSE CONCERT COMES TO MANITOU SPRINGS
  
  Colorado Springs, CO, January 15, 2010 — Venue 515 at the Business of Art Center, 515 Manitou Avenue, Manitou Springs, will host Soulmate, a blues band from India, on Saturday, February 13, 2010. Show time is 7 pm. Tickets are $12 in advance and $17 the day of show. India Palace restaurant will provide a buffet prior to the show. Tickets for the buffet and show are $25 in advance and $32 the day of show.
  
  Opening the show, performing traditional Indian, music will be Saptak, a local Indian band known for performances at the annual event Diwali, A Festival of Lights, highlighting the rich cultural heritage of India. Members of Saptak and their instrumentation are; Jay Patel (Dholak), Paritosh Rohilla (Ocotopad), Nikhil Patwardhan (Sitar), Chris Rehorn (Guitar) and Sourabh Basak (Tabla). After Saptak performs, Grass It Up, one of the area’s most popular Bluesgrass band’s will perform a short set and then join Saptak on stage for an interesting mixture which could best be described musically as “East meets West”. Members of Grass It Up are; David Jeffrey (Mandolin), Ben Lewis (Fiddle), Shannon T. Carr (Banjo) and Stefan Doucette (Upright Bass).
  The concert is the brainchild of local music promoter Amy Whitesell, who, through her business, A Music Company Inc., brings many concerts of varying types of music to the Pikes Peak region.
  
  “I think it’s wonderful to have Soulmate available”, explains Whitesell. “We usually don’t associate the Blues with a band from India, but Soulmate is in the country to compete at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis this January and they are performing a few concerts while in the states. Through my association with Imagination Celebration, I met people from the local Indian community and learned of the musicians who perform annually in Diwali, A Festival of Lights, and thought this would be a fantastic opportunity to present a great, culturally diverse show. Saptak has wanted to perform with Grass It Up and this presented the perfect opportunity for them.”
  
  Marc Snyder, Mayor of Manitou Springs will welcome Soulmate to our community.
  
  Pikes Peak Library District will be videoing the show for a future broadcast on their cable channel.
  
  Another Manitou Springs Carnivale event.
