Thanks Suma for uploading the Trichur brothers clips. I am so impressed with their music. Pardon me if this has been already posted here, does anyone have their schedule of upcoming concerts in the US tour?

[suma]

They have 1 concert lined up in Toronto this weekend and then they are heading back to India.
Fellow members from Toronto can let you know the time and location as I dont know.

Thanks for the info, Suma.
