ADAM LABOZ is the man on the sitar. Having played guitar ever since age 9, he was always fascinated by Indian music, and would try to imitate the sitar sound on guitar. He purchased his first sitar on eBay 12 years ago. Since then has performed on numerous stages, from intimate gatherings to the 20,000 seat Madison Square Garden.
