MIGHTY SAM MCCLAIN AND MAHSA VAHDAT TO TOUR UNITED STATES American-Iranian duo celebrates cross-cultural collaboration with “Love Duets Across Civilizations” Persia meets the blues!  Mighty Sam McClain, a Louisiana red-clay soul-bluesman, and Mahsa Vahdat, a classical Persian songstress, perform duets—singing across cultures, traditions, languages, genres, scales and rhythms. In true blues fashion, McClain has run the gamut from being homeless to being nominated for a Grammy Award; Vahdat has served as a voice for women throughout Iran.  The two pull from their personal struggles, intertwining English and Farsi lyrics to express yearning, hope and a quest for freedom.  They’ll perform selections from their new CD A Deeper Tone of Longing: Love Duets Across Civilizations (Valley Entertainment). TOUR DATES November 7 Asia Society Houston, TX http://asiasociety.org/texas/events/mahsa-vahdat-mighty-sam-mcclain Nov...
