Aki Kumar – Tuesday Plaza Concerts

Hailed as the “King of Bollywood Blues,” Aki Kumar is a dynamic, San Jose-based frontman and masterful harmonica player who has carved out a truly one-of-a-kind niche in the contemporary music scene. Originally leaving Mumbai for Silicon Valley to work as a software engineer, Kumar abandoned the tech path after discovering a deep, life-changing passion for American roots music. Renowned for his charismatic stage presence, sharp showmanship, and a collaborative spirit rooted in gratitude and humility, he has captivated audiences worldwide—from major U.S. festivals like Hardly Strictly Bluegrass to international tours—proving that the universal language of the blues knows no borders.

HiH Hint: You can reserve your spot by setting out chairs after 4pm. Bring a jacket and a hat, because once the sun ducks behind the buildings along Healdsburg Avenue the temperature drops faster than a rap artist’s mic. Oh yeah, ear plugs may be handy to have around. Food is always nearby. Clean bathrooms are a half-block away at the Healdsburg Police Department (238 Center Street), and if you have trouble finding it just cause a ruckus and nice police officers will personally escort you there.
