Sabah (Pat Loverde)

He brings two decades of string experience to Peach Curry, having played acoustic and electric guitar with various bands ranging from folk rock to contra music. Sabah plays a Persian tar and a Turkish baglama saz. Both are light, long-necked string instruments.

Kamuran (Rick Wallace)

He plays percussion, guiding the pulse of our music. Kamuran has over 20 years of music experience as a choral vocalist - nearly half of that time was in one of Apsara's groups - and in performance you might hear him singing along with her. He runs this Web site you're currently enjoying, has a guide for doumbek players on his personal site, and came up with the name for the band.

Apsara (Christy Seelye-King)

She is a professional entertainer with musical and vocal training that once almost took her to Italy to study opera. Instead, she has traveled on a path for over 25 years that has included many varied entertainment venues. As a singer and past director of a madrigal/folk a capella group, she has experience singing in many different languages - which comes in very handy when having to learn 16th century Turkish in one week!
 
 

Tariq (Jeff Jones)

He comes to Peach Curry with 20-odd years of musical experience in bands, orchestras, and small ensembles. Tariq adds a wide range of colors to our tonal palette with the flute, clarinet, recorders, saxophone, and other assorted instruments - which sounds really great until you have to carry them all to a performance!
