So Long Seven (SL7) is an audible garden where you didn’t realize you needed to escape to until you are there surrounded by the flora and fauna that is, Neil Hendry –guitar, William Lamoureux – violin Ravi Naimpally - tabla, and Tim Posgate- banjo.

So Long Seven creates space for self-reflection and challenges the conventional ideas of the boundaries and parameters that music industry categories impose. SL7 teaches us about bridging cultures without appropriating, while rediscovering the joy of music.
