Dinner Other Beer, Wine, Spirits Live Music

What’s Happening?

7:00 show: Doors @ 6:00
9:15 show: Bar @ 6:00, Doors @ 8:30

Where tradition meets innovation, The Alaya Project creates a sound unlike any other—an electrifying fusion of South Indian classical music, jazz, and funk that pushes musical boundaries while honoring deep cultural roots. This May, experience the trio that has been hailed as “forging a beautiful new sound” (Berkeleyside) live at Black Cat.

Led by Rohan Krishnamurthy’s dynamic percussion, Prasant Radhakrishnan’s soul-stirring saxophone, and Colin Hogan’s masterful keys, The Alaya Project blends intricate Carnatic rhythms with modern grooves, creating an unforgettable sonic journey. From jazz-infused ragas to fresh takes on classics like The Beatles’ Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite, their music is a revelation.

“When our ancestors speak of that delicate balance between tradition and innovation, they are hearing The Alaya Project, a sonic sanctum of crystalized soul!” - Hafez Modirzadeh, Professor of Creative/World Music at San Francisco State University

Band Lineup:
Rohan Krishnamurthy, drums/percussion
Roopa Mahadevan, vocals
Prasant Radhakrishnan, saxophone
Colin Hogan, piano
