Local multi-instrumentalist Sean Thomson found himself at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic without the standard performance opportunities around town. So he took it upon himself to learn how to play the Sitar, developing a style he describes as a “hillybilly sitar”. Thomson has so far released two volumes of sitar Christmas music and closed out the second pandemic year with a trio of live performances at Curiosity Coffee Bar in Columbia, SC, each with a different guest musician. On December 23, Thomson presented the final installment of the series with local guitarist Jeff Gregory.

‘Ticking Off The Good Days’ appears on the latest Comfort Monk Compilation.
