Standing in a long line of creative and improvising guitarists like John Fahey and Derek Bailey, Tashi Dorji is one of the most exciting young musicians to emerge in The US over the last few years.

Dorji grew up in Bhutan, on the eastern side of the Himalayas but, after traveling to the US to pursue his college education, now calls Asheville NC his home.

It makes sense – Asheville has long been both an iconic center of American traditional music and a welcome home for musicians drawn to experimentation.

Dorji is in the latter category.

His music alludes to tradition but reflects above all a belief in an intuitive exploration of sound that results in surprising twists, turns and tangents.

Fragile, melodic and dissonant, his music is a revelation, a realm unto itself full of unexpected revelations.
“Describing Tashi Dorji’s music makes it seem pretty esoteric.

The Bhutan-by-way-of-North Carolina guitarist creates improvised solo guitar pieces made up of skittering runs, buzzing strings, gamelan-like harmonics and other possibly unnameable sounds.

But don’t let that scare you off.

Dorji’s unusual approach translates into something positively magical — and extremely listenable.” – Tyler Wilcox, Aquarium Drunkard Beverages are included in the ticket price, non-alcoholic for everyone, and beer & wine to those 21+.
