SF: Stern Grove Bhangra + Cheek Swabbing - SUNDAYEvents

Pahtee In Thee Ghe-tto…

One of the best things about summer in San Francisco is the annual Stern Grove summer concert series. The festival brings in some of the best in lesser known music with a particular emphasis on international / world beats.

This Sunday they’re doing it up Desi and will feature the Grammy-nominated Anoushka Shankar, Karsh Kale, The Non-Stop Bhangra Collective, Dholrhythms, and more.

Where: Stern Grove Park

When: Sunday, July 22; Concert starts @ 2:00 but seating is first come / first serve and once they’re at capacity, they stop admitting new folks. So be there by 1230 or so just to be safe.

And, of course, no gathering of Desi’s this large is complete without an obligatory shout out for folks to come out get their cheeks swabbed and help Sameer & Vinay find a bone marrow match. Sameer’s team is looking for volunteers to help out with the cause. I’ll be there with a few other mutineers so stop by and say hello!

OMG. We'll be there. I was wondering if they were going to do a bone marrow drive at the event. Will see you at the booth.

Great show, plus I ran into Vinod! Big ups to those who had their cheeks swabbed and to Sharmaji for stealing the show with his raucous dhol-playing and infectious energy.

yup it was fun. Though Anoushka Shankar played for like 5 mins..and then ran off! And even with overcast skies, it was not freezing (unlike today..ugh)
