Spring Revolution:
House of Waters

About this performance
House of Waters brings its radical and ambitious music to National Sawdust for the first time. Virtuosos Max ZT (hammered dulcimer), and Moto Fukushima (6-string electric bass) partner with drummer Richie Barshay (Herbie Hancock) for a collaboration not to be missed. Performing all original music based on their studies in West Africa, India, and Japan, House of Waters has been called “One of most original bands on the planet.”
