Grammy Award winning percussionist Shane Shanahan is a founding member of Yo-Yo Ma’s genre defying Silkroad Ensemble and has spent decades touring the globe with a wide range of world class musicians. His new album, Audacity (Live!), is a celebration of the distinct power of cross-cultural collaboration and the transcendent beauty of collective creation. Shane’s compositions provide a generous platform for the artists to craft a dynamic new sound that weaves together Indian, Middle Eastern, Japanese, jazz, rock, and minimalist traditions. The album takes us on a journey that draws us into its search for hope, humanity, and connection across difference, at a time when so many forces are striving to divide us.
