Joel ‘Veena’ Eisenkramer is an award-winning exponent of the Indian classical guitar or 20-stringed Indian slide guitar from Vermont, USA. A journey that started with an epiphany after listening to a CD while on a study-abroad trip in Delhi has, over the years since 2007, transformed Joel into one of the dynamic young artists of Hindustani classical and fusion today. Joel's concert tours have taken him all over India, Europe and the US while learning under and eventually performing alongside some of the greats of Indian music. "I play music to heal, to transmute, to bring calm and focus and to empower.”
