He created The Guru Guru Project as a trio in late 2010 but it is now a quartet with Steven Arthur (bass), Fred Awuku (drums) and Nana Boakye (piano).
Collectively, their music is a delicate blend of jazz, rock and distinct African elements.
The band’s debut album was released in September last year.
The 8.00pm Piano Bar concert is expected to attract music lovers expectant of hearing one of the outstanding guitar players and hard working bands on the Ghanaian scene at the moment.
