A Cross-Cultural Musical Journey
Bridging the worlds of Appalachian folk, jazz & Indian classical music
Vishnu, Davis & Haleigh is a cross-cultural collaboration between Birmingham, Alabama duo Davis Little (acoustic guitar) and Haleigh Black (violin) and Bengaluru, India musician Vishnu Ramprasad, an award-winning Carnatic fusion artist and inventor of the NAVTAR®, a one-of-a-kind 9-string instrument.
Their performances are rooted in Appalachian, jazz, and Indian classical traditions while remaining refreshingly original, driven by improvisation, curiosity, and genuine musical conversation.
After touring throughout the United States and India, the trio continues to bring audiences together through music that is soulful, joyful and full of surprises.
Now booking for August–September 2027.

"Some evenings of music entertain you. Others stay with you. And then, very rarely, there are those that seem to transcend the music altogether, transporting you somewhere beyond words. What Vishnu, Davis & Haleigh created on stage was just that. Vishnu's extraordinary artistry, weaving the depth and soul of Indian classical music with jazz and contemporary sound, felt at once deeply rooted and entirely new. All the musicians seemed to be in conversation with one another without words, listening, responding, improvising and creating something together that could only have existed in the moment. At times exhilarating, at others meditative, and throughout, utterly mesmerizing. For those few hours, the world outside seemed to fall away. There was simply sound, rhythm, beauty, connection and joy. A truly transcendent experience. What a beautiful gift, bringing cultures, traditions and people together through the universal language of music."

"I've been fortunate to have witnessed some truly great musical performances and the show tonight ranks right up with some of the best I've ever seen. It was easily the most unique performance I've ever experienced in person. The complexity of the songs was mind-blowing and the band was incredibly tight the entire night. Seeing how much they all enjoyed playing together was a beautiful thing to behold. I thought it was going to be great, but they exceeded my expectations! If it was recorded, I want a copy for sure!"
