Rupa Marya with Pawel Walerowski
Rupa -- the front-woman and composer for rising global pop band Rupa & the April Fishes--will be playing a unique intimate performance in duo with Polish cellist Pawel Walerowski at Mud Puddle Coffee, September 7th. Rupa's debut album eXtraOrdinary rendition has hit the top of iTunes world music charts several times since its international release April 2008. The band has toured extensively this summer in support of their album--playing 9 countries in Europe, the Montreal Jazz Festival, Central Park Summer Stage and the epic Outside Lands Festival in their hometown of San Francisco.

The band will be on tour in the Northwest in early September (playing the Triple Door September 4th) and Rupa will be taking an extra day on the tour to play her compositions in a stripped down format with guitar, voice and cello. Her music is a bridge between cultures--mixing sounds from France, India, Latin America and the US. The result is a mosaic of styles, creating a richly diverse songwriting. She has been featured on the cover the SF Bay Guardian as pioneering a new kind of songwriting, on the BBC's World Service, on NPR (All Songs Considered, The Story, PRI's The World). Her music is at once rousing and intimate, playful and full of depth. Rupa spends half of her time in the hospital as a professor of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco and half her time on the road with her colorful band.

This Bainbridge Island show will be a unique opportunity to hear her compositions more intimately and some exciting interpretations of others with acclaimed cellist Pawel Walerowski.   See:  www.myspace.com/aprilfishes
