There was so much thought put into every aspect of the show; from the artsy poster to the fund-raising poster, everything was well thought out. I guess when you’re creating an experience to remember, all of the little things make up a good time.

The show took place in a beautiful house in B Block, Greater Kailash part-1. The evening started with an opportunistic move from the team bringing on board a group of traveling musicians from the US, The Bluegrass Journeymen. They were traveling to India to spread the 'Bluegrass' culture and landed up with us on their last night in the country.

The band comprised of Mandolin, Banjo, Fiddle, Guitar and Bass, this kind of a band Delhi was not well versed with but the crowd took it in very well and enjoyed to the best.

Rishabh Seen.

The next act was an act to remember; Rishabh Seen who is a sitarist enthralled the audience with some metal on his instrument of choice.

Everyone remained skeptical of his metal ability until he showed them that head banging is literal when it comes to expanding your horizons with music.

We ended the night with another traveler, Phillip "Brail" Watson known to all as Brail, who was here in India to shoot a music video for National Geographic Channel. Brail not only sang like a dream but got the entire audience on their feet which was needed as the weekend was coming to an end.
