Sitar Players for Hire in Washington D.C.

"Absolutely amazing. Beautiful music, really set the tone. So many compliments. Very easy to work with and highly recommend."

"I have been listening to Indrajit for decades! A true master of the sitar and Indian classical music with a lyrical style reminiscent of the great masters. Something not seen much anymore, I highly recommend his music!"

"JUSTIN MADE OUR WEDDING SO SPECIAL! 💕 We absolutely love Justin! Without him, our wedding would not have been nearly as special as it was. Our experience with Justin started with a an online search for a ukelele player to play & sing “ Slow Boat to China” by Jimmy Buffett instead of “Here comes the Bride” ( as a surprise for my soon to be hubby, Rich). I GOT ZERO HITS WITH THAT SEARCH-but some general guitarists/musicians came up. When I saw Justin’s videos online and heard his incredible voice and easy demeanor, I contacted him. He said he DID play the Ukelele and could play that and 2 other songs I hoped to include in the ceremony. Justin learned and mastered those 3 songs just for our wedding! PLUS he also added a bunch of other Buffet songs to his already extensive and eclectic repertoire. As Justin and I messaged back and forth with plans, his enthusiasm, effort, planning and desire to make our day really special was astounding. Within hours, I knew we had found not only a very talented young musician, but a very special “old soul.” Rich and I are “Old-ly Weds” and just had a small ceremony and reception with friends and family. Whether they were 8, 18, or 28 to 88, Justin delighted our guests. When we insisted he take a break our guests couldn’t wait to talk to and get to know him. Justin is an absolutely amazing musician as well as a great person. He feels like family now! You’d be hard-pressed to find a more talented musician and all around wonderful and fun person as we found in Justin Turk! We give him 100 thumbs up, and we encourage him to raise his prices!"

"We hired SitarBug to perform at the cocktail hour of our wedding reception, and it was the perfect decision that elevated our entire celebration. Their soulful sitar melodies and world-fusion rhythms wove seamlessly through the air, creating an enchanting atmosphere that had our guests mesmerized from the first note. The music felt like a gentle bridge between our love story and the joy of the evening—elegant, immersive, and utterly unforgettable. SitarBug didn't just play; they added a layer of cultural elegance and heartfelt energy that made our special day feel truly one-of-a-kind. If you're dreaming of a reception that lingers in everyone's hearts, book them now—you won't regret it!"

"Perfect Music for Our Nonprofits' Cocktail Party Fundraiser! Justin Turk was the perfect addition to our historical society's fundraiser. An outdoor cocktail party with over 100 people, Justin's musical talents provided a wonderful backdrop to the party. Just was able to gauge the audience and performed accordingly -- the right kind of music and the right level of sound. Our historical society was thrilled with his performance and I highly recommend him!"

"I am beyond grateful to Vatsal Dave for the amazing Sitar, tabla and flute performance they gave at my daughter’s sangeet event which we had at a private residence. Their 2 hour Indian classical music concert brought me memories of back home in India and introduced the beauty of classical music and especially the Sitar to all the musicians who were attending including our son in law who is a musician himself. They absolutely loved hearing it. Not only does Vatsal play Sitar beautifully, he also sang a very popular Sufi song and his son sang and played his guitar which was also very special. I am so glad they were able to perform with a fairly short notice. Forever grateful to you!!! 🙏🏼 "
