About Live Music Performance
I've been chasing that live gig high for over twenty years now. For me, the best moments come when the music just clicks with everyone in the room, whether it’s a packed club or a chilled-out living room.
What I Offer
-
Solo & Duo Shows:
Perfect for small spaces where every note matters. Just me, my acoustic guitar, and sometimes a friend. Expect a lot of blues and folk, with some classic rock thrown in. Think Eric Clapton unplugged, Bob Dylan’s storytelling, Simon & Garfunkel harmonies. I love mixing in stories behind the songs too. Great for brewery gigs, house concerts, or any vibe that’s a bit more personal. This is where the acoustic gig experience really shines. -
Tribute Nights:
If you want to really rock out, I’ve got a band for that. We dive into the music of legends - The Eagles, Eric Clapton, CCR, and more. Our classic rock tribute night is all about nostalgia and big sound. -
Originals with The RubberBiscuit Project:
Here’s where you’ll hear my own songs, mixing blues, rock, and a bit of indie soul. It’s an independent music set that’s always evolving, and I love trying out new tracks on a live crowd. -
The 'Oorga' Project:
This is a fun one - a trio where we mash up Sufi poetry, Indian folk, and old-school blues. Like taking a Kabir poem and giving it a blues twist. It’s all about unexpected, beautiful mashups. Basically, pura masala (full of spice and variety).
No matter the setup, it’s all about the music and the connection. If you’re after something real, I’m up for it.

My Story
Eric Clapton’s Unplugged, that’s where it all kicked off for me. Bass in Chronic Blues Circus, guitar with Galeej Gurus—those days were wild. But I keep coming back to blues and rock, pouring my own stories into The RubberBiscuit Project and jamming with my Quartet. Oorga with Vedanth and Bindhu? That’s sufi, folk, blues, even Kabir’s poetry—who knew it’d fit! Music feels like chatting with old friends, you know?
My Work
Solo & Band Performances - I play solo acoustic sets and full band gigs—The Ananth Menon Quartet or The RubberBiscuit Project.
Tribute Nights & Classic Covers - We celebrate legends—Eric Clapton, Eagles, Simon & Garfunkel, CCR—with raw, classic rock covers.
Sufi Folk Blues Fusion - With Oorga, we blend sufi, folk, and blues—Kabir meets delta blues acoustic set. It’s something else.
