TO TOUR UNITED STATES
American-Iranian duo celebrates
cross-cultural collaboration with “Love Duets Across
Civilizations”
Persia meets the blues! Mighty Sam
McClain, a Louisiana red-clay soul-bluesman, and Mahsa Vahdat, a classical
Persian songstress, perform duets—singing across cultures, traditions,
languages, genres, scales and rhythms. In true blues fashion, McClain has run
the gamut from being homeless to being nominated for a Grammy Award; Vahdat has
served as a voice for women throughout Iran. The two pull from their personal
struggles, intertwining English and Farsi lyrics to express yearning, hope and a
quest for freedom. They’ll perform selections from their new CD A Deeper Tone of Longing: Love Duets
Across Civilizations (Valley Entertainment).

“To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson
