Tibet2Timbuk2 "Music is Life" tour with Taro Terahara

Taking advantage of bansuri whiz Taro Terahara's presence, Tibet2Timbuk2 embarked on a 3 weekend tour entitled "Music is Life" (after our award-winning debut CD).  First up we headed up the Sunshine Coast to play a home concert in Doonan (near Noosa) and were blessed to be able to play in the Chenrezig Tibetan Buddhism Institute's Gompa. The following weekend we made a long drive down to Blue Mountains via Bellingen and Wauchope, and on the final weekend played 3 shows in Gold Coast, Nimbin and Ocean Shores. Each of the shows kept getting better and better as we tuned in with each other and our songs, especially inspired by the magical element of Taro's bansuri. What an awesome band!

Thanks to all the organisers - Pratika and Maia at Doonan Bhavan, Maureen at Chenrezig, Ben from Roots Records in Bellingen, Krissa and Wauchope Arts Council, Meg in Blue Mountains, Nicole in Gold Coast, Dana of Spirited Events in Nimbin and Paul of the Temple of Melodious Sound in Ocean Shores!!!

Tibet2Timbuk2's next show will be at the Festival of Tibet at Brisbane Powerhouse on Feb 1, 2013.
