Performers at Surati Holi Hai 2017

Once in every thousand years comes a band that will redefine music as you know it. This is not that band ... but they plan to get there ... eventually!! Eventually Epic is an acoustic band that performs songs across musical genres ranging from classic rock and contemporary pop/rock to (Hindi) Bollywood songs.

Their repertoire includes originals as well as an eclectic variety of fun covers. Their original songs feature simple arrangements, catchy melodies and memorable lyrics, and their performances always exude raw energy and sheer enjoyment. They insist on attempting (and often pulling off) covers one might not expect – ranging from songs by classic rock bands such as Journey and Bon Jovi, to Bollywood artists like Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, all the way to all-male acoustic versions of songs by Lady Gaga, Katy Perry and Taylor Swift. 

Armed with an unconventional combination of acoustic guitars, keytar and vocal harmonies, Eventually Epic are a musical force to reckon with (or they eventually will be)!

Surati is thrilled to feature performances by actresses from In Full Color, an annual theatrical event celebrating women of color. Founded in 2015 by playwright and director Summer Dawn Hortillosa, the program has included monologues and poetry by writers from New York and New Jersey and even as far as California, Maryland and South Carolina.

The show sparks conversations about diversity, prejudice, cultural exchange and other increasingly important topics. So far, they have discussed everything from the double-edged sword of Indian domesticity and the perseverance of Latina sexuality to exactly what matters about Black lives.

In Full Color is run by Art House Productions, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Jersey City, N.J. that focuses on the arts, and 68 Productions, an independent theater company that aims to produce work by and for people of all colors. For more info, go to Facebook.com/InFullColorPlay

Holi Hai guests will see “The Clash Within a Civilization” by Purvi Patel, “Search for My Spirit” by Nerissa Tutiven and “Pocahontas” by Liliane Wolf.
