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. ## Highlights Browse through Ananth Menon's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/ananth.menon/live-music-performance/featured) - [Video: This is the heart of what I do.

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. - **Music Composition & Theatre Sound Design**: I compose original music and create soundscapes for plays—like ‘Medea’ and ‘Bali: The Sacrifice’. ## More services from Ananth Menon - [Music & Sound for Theatre](https://mytribe.in/ananth.menon/music-sound-for-theatre) · ₹35K-1.5L per production (estimate) ## Experts similar to Ananth Menon on mytribe - [Live Music Performance by Anusha Ishwar](https://mytribe.in/anushaishwar/live-music-performance) · ₹8-25K per performance (up to 2 hours) (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Acoustic Sessions by Badal Kashyap](https://mytribe.in/badalkashyap17/acoustic-sessions) · ₹5-15K per session (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Live Sitar Performances by Arjun Anand](https://mytribe.in/the_sitar_dude/live-sitar-performances) · ₹7-30K per 60-90 minute performance (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Live Music for Commercial Venues by Pramod](https://mytribe.in/pramod.music/live-music-for-commercial-venues) · ₹6-40K per show (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Live Music & Magic Entertainment by Kalyan Sabareeshan](https://mytribe.in/case_aberration/live-music-magic-entertainment) · ₹10-25K per show (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Live Music for Events by Tanya Shanker](https://mytribe.in/itstanyashanker/live-music-for-events) · ₹18-95K per event (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Live Music Performances by Praveen Bhat](https://mytribe.in/praveenbhatmusic/live-music-performances) · ₹18K-1.4L per performance (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Live Music Performance by Livia](https://mytribe.in/livdidwhaat/live-music-performance) · ₹7-18K per set (60-90 mins) (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Live Music & Flow Arts Performance by Aniketh Ak](https://mytribe.in/aniketh_beatbox/live-music-flow-arts-performance) · ₹10-30K per 60-minute set (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Acoustic & Unplugged Performances by Loysum](https://mytribe.in/loysum/acoustic-unplugged-performances) · ₹8-30K per performance (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Live Sitar Performances by Vijay Gonahal](https://mytribe.in/gonahalu/live-sitar-performances) · ₹15K-2L per performance (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Live Music Performances by Varijashree Venugopal](https://mytribe.in/varijashree/live-music-performances) · ₹1-5L per performance (estimate) · Bengaluru ## Book To book Ananth Menon, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'm%20looking%20for%20Live%20Music%20Performance%20by%20Ananth%20Menon.)
