Although the songs are sung in Punjabi, Urdu and Hindi, they will be explained to the audience in English.
Young will play a 12-string acoustic guitar similar to the styles of guitarist Leo Kottke, ABC coordinators said.
A free musicians' workshop from 4 to 5:30 p.m. will precede the evening concert at the center. Anyone is welcome to attend and share their musical talents with the band.
In return, the community will be given some insight on the workings of Indian music and a glimpse at the secrets behind its original sound, ABC's Jim Colbert said.
"We try to keep them [the workshops] interactive, but some are more performance-based," he said.
Tickets are $12 and are available at Webster's Bookstore Café, 128 S. Allen St. All proceeds go toward the artists' salary. Space is limited to 70 seats. Since most ABC shows tend to sell out, Colbert suggests for those interested in attending the show to purchase their tickets as soon as possible.
ABC, a nonprofit volunteer-run organization, has five shows lined up for their fall season with one opener and one main act for each. Everything from Celtic, jazz, bluegrass, old-time American and singer-songwriter groups are scheduled, main act coordinator Mel DeYoung said.
"We are fairly traditional in the music we bring, but we also try to keep it alive and current," he said.
The organization has a policy that limits main acts to those seen by at least one of the board members, since it is difficult to judge a performer's ability from only a CD recording, DeYoung said.
"It's also about being able to relate to an audience," he said.
ABC's primary mission is to bring in nationally recognized performers, Colbert said. They do, however, encourage local artist applications for the opening acts.
