A Music Gig

An evening of 'blues' music.

Yest when Diksha called around eight and said "want to come for a music gig ma?", my first question was "what kind of music?". She said 'Blues'.... I wasn't too sure what that was, and by way of explanation she said "It's kind of Jazzy, folksy, I think it's music you'll like, want to come?". 

I went....for what turned out to be a lovely night.

It was the 'By2Blues' from Bangalore, playing at Tabula Rasa. Lovely ambience, fun atmosphere, a high energy band, and absolutely lovely music. 

Tabula Rasa (this ones from google, was too dark by the time we went)

By2Blues, Ananth Menon their lead singer and guitarist, Joe Anthony on the Cajon, and Vasudev Prabhu playing the harmonica. They're each brilliant at what they do, yet Vasudev on the harmonica was like a man possessed....adding one lingering and haunting element to the music.

Some of the songs they played were Super Star in my car, urban VIP, Devils got the wheel, On the road again, Idukki Gold, When I die, and Current affair, among many others.

Tabula Rasa is all pretty much outdoors, and lovelier for it...tried capturing some of the feel of the place, but it was too dark.
