Eight Gigs: Delhi 2 Dublin
Sun., April 19, 8 p.m., Center for the Arts, $22-$24
What a difference a little time can make. Delhi 2 Dublin played to less than a handful of folks in Sacramento just a few years ago and has already ascended to headlining status at the gorgeous Center For The Arts. The Vancouver-based group caught attention through high-energy shows and blending such disparate genres as reggae, Celtic fare and global rhythms that make any pair of feet restless. After seven releases and incessant touring, the hard work of official members Tarun Nayar (tabla, electronics), Sanjay Seran (vocals) and Ravi Binning (dhol, dholak) has paid off and then some. Expect a diverse crowd with ages all over the map. 314 West Main Street in Grass Valley, www.delhi2dublin.com.
