Mehrnam Rastegari

Mehrnam Rastegari bends Persian violin into a fever dream of funk, jazz, and rock that sounds like nothing you've heard before—expect hypnotic strings tangled with groove-heavy rhythms that'll have you questioning everything you thought you knew about what a violin could do. The New York virtuoso is touring behind his debut *Dislocated Pulse*, and catching him in the intimate, storied setting of Old Town School of Folk Music in Lincoln Square feels like the kind of night you'll reference later. All ages, so bring whoever's adventurous enough to follow you into this sonic rabbit hole.
