  Voxtrot

  A special performance of VOXTROT and RAMESH songs with string quartet INVOKE, as a prelude to Signal president Meredith Whittaker's SXSW Keynote.

  RAMESH (aka Ramesh Srivastava) is best known as the frontman of the recently reunited Austin indie pop group VOXTROT. Currently, Ramesh is recording Voxtrot's second full-length LP, as well as his third solo album Search for Freedom & God, which delves into his personal journey through homosexuality and spirituality.

  INVOKE are a multi-instrumental string quartet who encompass traditions from across America, including bluegrass, Appalachian fiddle tunes, jazz, and minimalism. Fueled by their passion for storytelling, Invoke weaves all of these styles together to form a unique contemporary repertoire, featuring original works composed by and for the group. This passion also inspired Invoke’s ongoing commissioning initiative American Postcards, in which they draw on composers from all backgrounds to help tell the stories of America, piece by piece.
