Shimmer by Michelle Qureshi

What happens when mellow acoustic guitar and sonorous sitar collaborate? We have a brand-new EP from award-winning multi-instrumentalist, Michelle Qureshi. “Shimmer” is a re-imagining of three of Qureshi’s existing compositions. Here, the sparkling strings of the South Asian sitar meet up with Michelle’s American finger-style guitar sound.
Joining Michelle on these three new tracks, “Stones That Shimmer,” Skipping Stones,” and “Sparkling Within This Night,” is sitar player, Shehzad Hussain.  Hussain is the son of the late sitar Maestro, Ustad Sajid Hussain. He hails from the esteemed Jaipur, Saineya Gharana. 
The unique, resplendent synastry between guitar and sitar on “Shimmer,” brings each reimagined song into a new context. This is an invitation to transcend east and west and instead land somewhere brand new and very special. 
Michelle says, “I feel a very deep connection to the sitar. The beauty of bringing sitar into this setting only enhances the experience for the listener, expanding those ripples not only within the song, but across the globe.”
