265 - Mark Lettieri and Purbayan Chatterjee

In episode 265 of “Have Guitar Will Travel”, presented by Vintage Guitar Magazine, host James Patrick Regan speaks with guitarist Mark Lettieri and sitarist and Grammy winner Purbayan Chatterjee. In their conversation the two tell us where they are now, Mark in Fort Worth, TX and Purbayan in Bombay (Mumbai), India and they discuss how they met at Mark’s Snarky Puppy (one of his regular gigs) concert in Mumbai.

Purbayan discusses how this project “Feathered Creatures” turned from a solo album with a few guitar parts to a full out collaboration between the two and they take us through the instrumentation on the album apart from Mark’s guitar and Purbayan’s sitar work.

The two take us through the gear they used on the album, Purbayan’s sitar and his electric sitar and Mark’s PRS guitars and Purbayan explains the tuning of the sitar.

The two talk about upcoming shows both in the l US and India and tour plans for 2027 and they also tell us about their individual tour schedules for the rest of the year.
