SONAM SHERPA-lead guitarist of indian band PARIKRAMA


Sonam Sherpa appeared as INDIA's future great guitarists in 'ROLLING STONES' MAGAZINE's 1st edition in INDIA.

Playing guitars since he was 9. The harp came only at around 15. Specialises in the Blues, Snores (no connection!) and some amazing slide work using a 9volt discard - both alkaline and dry, steel/brass/tin locks, broken glasses/bottles and a lot many more things BUT for his prized $20 SLIDE which he ever so slothfully presumes lost. And that shows in his size. He has played in many bands earlier, in hometown Kalimpong and in Darjeeling. But he saw his first EFFECTS pedal (read - distortion unit) in Delhi at around 21 something. Currently uses a Epiphone Les Paul guitar, sleeps over a Fender Mustang.
