Peter Walker Tickets

Peter Walker is a pioneering guitarist whose work fused folk fingerpicking with Indian classical influences, creating the distinctive folk-raga sound. Born in 1938 in Boston, he became a fixture of the 1960s Greenwich Village and Cambridge folk scenes and studied under Indian classical influences, including Ravi Shankar and Ali Akbar Khan. Over the decades, Walker has released a series of influential albums and collaborated on innovative cross-cultural projects.
