The Indianapolis Propylaeum is proud to present the 2023 Porch Concert Series. This series will feature three diverse concerts performing on the beautiful Propylaeum porch in the Summer 2023. From June to August, the outdoor concerts allow guests to spread out and relax on the Propylaeum’s expansive lawn while enjoying various styles of music.

About Bashiri Asad:

Acknowledging that each of us has a priceless gift that we must harness and share with the world, Bashiri Asad has come to define his sound as “IndySoul”.

He laughs. He cries. He loves. He dreams. Just like you, everyday. He feels deeply, and turns his feelings into music. Soul music. Music that says exactly how you feel, everyday.

Bashiri Asad is the “Everyday Soul Singer,” and he will remind you that feeling what you feel, in your soul, is just fine. IndySoul is his passion, and he exudes this with every song!

In Bashiri Asad’s latest album titled The Way We Are, he teams up with Indianapolis based supergroup Be On It. Filled with messages of affirmation, love cautionary tales and hope, he is backed with amazing arrangements which makes The Way We Are the new installment in the soundtrack of the human experience.
