Gallery 992 hosts Sister Sai, Asumaya, and Shanti Om pop-up show
The West End Gallery hosts a pop-up show featuring Sister Sai, Asumaya, and Shanti Om.
Gallery 992 in the West End is hosting a pop-up show tonight, Mon., July 11. The lineup includes local soul-chanteuse Shanti Om, experimental cellist and soundscape composer Sister Sai, and Asumaya, a one-man post-punk world music phenomenon from Madison, WI.
This is the gallery’s first show since its July 4 grand opening. Sister Sai, aka Saira Raza who has worked closely in the past with gallery owner Kebbi Williams, is excited to see the return of a live music community to the West End. “I used to own a coffeehouse in that neighborhood, and Kebbi used to do a free Monday night jazz there,” Raza says. “I had to close the shop in 2010, and it was completely devastating. So it’s deeply rewarding to do this show at Gallery 992, which is bringing back that much needed creative gathering space to the West End community.”
$5. 7 p.m. Gallery 992, 992 Ralph David Abernathy Boulevard. 678-974-8144.
