Legal Age 19+ (Valid Photo I.D. Required)Presented by RAD Arts FoundationArash Sobhani Live in VancouverSunday November 9th, 2025The PearlVancouver, BC Arash Sobhani is an internationally recognized Iranian musician, songwriter, and producer. Best known as the founder of Kioska cornerstone of Iranian alternative music for over two decadeshis sharp lyricism and fearless voice have earned global acclaim, with features in Anthony Bourdains Parts Unknown, BBC, TIME, The Guardian, and NPR.Now based in New York, Sobhani presents his debut solo album, DOOD (Smoke), a work that embodies the citys cosmopolitan spirit, where cultures, genres, and ideas collide. Written in Farsi yet resonating far beyond language, his songs are private and poetic, carrying an undercurrent of political awarenessnever didactic, always universal. DOODmarks a new chapter for Sobhani, offering a deeply personal sound for a discerning global audience. ALBUM OVERVIEWAlbum: DOOD (Smoke)Language: Farsi (Persian)Genre: World-Jazz / Persian Noir / Existential GrooveFFO: Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits, Omar KhayyamDOOD is the sound of cosmopolitan New Yorkfree-form, unpredictable, and alive with voices from every direction. The album features musicians from Serbia, Greece, Norway, Canada, Russia, and the US, each bringing their own vocabulary to a set of songs that move between jazz, rebetiko, klezmer, swing, and Persian melody. The arrangements are loose and modern, with space for improvisation. At the center are Sobhanis lyrics: a blend of existential wit (Khayyam) and raw, observational poetry (Dylan), delivered with a stoic acceptance of lifes contradictions. These are songs for anyone whos ever felt unmooredlyrics that ask questions, not to preach, but to find kinship in the unresolved.NOTE: Organizer has the right to refuse service or suspend or revoke access privileges to any guest who is not following rules, unreasonably rowdy or disturbing the use and enjoyment of others, including Artists staff and volunteers.ALL SALES ARE FINAL, NO REFUNDS WILL BE ISSUED!
