World Slide Summit

World Slide Summit is a special feature concert celebrating humanity and sonic connections across cultures. The Slide Summit band was born out of the unusual migration of two of the world’s top slide instrument players to Perth.

Sarod player Praashekh Borkar from India and pedal steel guitarist Lucky Oceans from the United States of America, who have both won the highest music awards from their respective countries. Completing the quartet is Arvis Mena on bass and Ric Eastman on drums. Together, their unique global repertoire explores a musical fusion of Jazz, Blues, Indian Folk, Cuban rhythms, and Irish reels. There’s nothing like the Slide Summit ensemble anywhere else in the world.
