Live Tonight on Millennium Stage: The career of Sunny Jain is a celebration of cultural diaspora: deep-rooted tradition that ripples outward, changing—and being changed by—the cultures that it touches. He is a composer, drummer, dhol player, and thought leader.
2022 was a professional and personal leap for Jain. He joined Planet Drum for their first show in 15 years, playing alongside drumming legends Mickey Hart (The Grateful Dead), Zakir Hussain, and Giovanni Hidalgo. He embarked on a milestone tour to Pakistan with Sunny Jain’s Wild Wild East band, after headlining the renowned Smithsonian Folklife Festival on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. He debuted the eight-piece Bollywood Biggish Band at Lincoln Center, NYC, drawing close to 1,000 people for their Celebrate Love event. Jain also started developing his first musical theatrical piece called Love Force—commissioned by Joe’s Pub New York Voices, supported by National Endowment for the Arts and New York State Council on the Arts—after he was awarded the MAP Fund in 2021. All the while, Jain was globetrotting with the almighty band Red Baraat.
