Who: Joel Veena
Indian
A chance discovery of the work of Indian slide guitarist Pt. Vishwa Mohan Bhatt a decade ago turned into a life-changing event for Joel. He immediately dedicated himself to the instrument, studying under – and eventually performing alongside – some of the most renowned names in Indian classical music. With three albums now under his belt, and an extensive touring schedule that has taken him across India, the US, and most recently Europe, Joel has worked to expand the sonic palette of the Indian slide guitar by working with a host of musicians in a variety of styles.
