Season: 2022-2023

Müsila is a guitarist and singer-songwriter from Sri Lanka, now based in the Southside of Chicago. His work is inspired by traditional Sri Lankan music and haunted by the spirit of the Blues and Americana. His songs tell a story of the immigrant experience and that of the ordinary yet overwhelming challenges and triumphs of a well-examined life. Enjoy complimentary live music!
