Fabulous 3+ hour concert by Sri. Sikkil Gurucharan to entrall the audience in Sacramento. Started the concert with a salute to the legend Lalgidi Jayaraman. The song list mostly made up of audience request including RTP in an uncommon raga. Both Vidwan Sanjeev and Vidwan Padri Satish kumar were super complimentary to the lead vocalist. Vidwan Padri Satishkumar's Tani avarthanam was electric and full of energy. Despite the relative late start (8p), Sikkil and crew kept the audience engaged through out the 3+ hour concert.
