Indio Saravanja is the real deal. Where Troubador Texas meets the Lower East Side, the great chansonniers of France, Brill Building songsmiths of Broadway, or the great folk-poet troubadours of 1970’s Nashville or Latin America via endless miles of snow-covered Canadian highways, you’ll find him unwittingly mining for a classic and timeless music that cuts right to the bone. While his music has drawn many loose comparisons: Townes Van Zandt, Lou Reed, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Tom Petty, and even Bert Jansch and Nick Cave, Indio’s greatest gift is his unique perspective on the world while delivering honest, candid, and often transcendent performances whether alone at a guitar or piano or rocking a full band.
Indio Saravanja is an impressive multi-instrumentalist and prolific writer in the tradition of the bards, and though his music has deep roots, his real destination is wherever the songs lead him. Recording in his home countries of Argentina or Canada, hanging out with his late great brother Jeff Buckley in 90’s Greenwich Village, or writing songs in the Canadian arctic that he then brings to life in Buenos Aires or Toronto, his is the heart and soul music of a spiritual gypsy transcending the many false borders and notions of fixed time or address… searching for the truth of the matter and the freedom earned within.
