Steve is excited to announce that Raga Bop Trio’s very first U.S. tour gets underway on November 10 in New York City!

Raga Bop Trio is an exciting new project featuring Steve, guitarist Prasanna, and saxophonist George Brooks. The band is grounded in jazz, with its focus on groove, atmosphere, and harmonic adventure. It is also deeply rooted in the rhythmic and melodic traditions of Indian classical music.

The tour will also take the band across the Midwest and out to California.

Check out Steve Smith and his new group, Raga Bop Trio, on the road this fall!
