Classic Rock & Blues Tribute Nights
I bring the music of the legends to life—from the harmonies of The Eagles to the raw blues of Eric Clapton. Let's turn your venue into a space for pure, high-energy nostalgia.

About Tribute Nights: Rocking the Classics
When I perform these tribute sets, it isn't just about hitting the right notes. My quartet spends hours in the studio specifically to nail the iconic guitar tones, vocal harmonies, and the rhythmic feel that made these tracks hits in the first place, ensuring the sound carries the same weight as the original records.
Bringing the Legends to Life
There is something about the music of the 70s and 80s that just sticks. Whether it is the swampy groove of Creedence Clearwater Revival or the intricate fingerpicking of an Eric Clapton solo, these tracks have a soul that deserves to be played with respect. I have spent the last two decades obsessing over these sounds, and with my quartet, I aim to recreate that magic for your audience.
The Setup
Depending on your venue and the vibe you want, we can scale the performance.
- Classic Rock Tribute: This is the full, high-energy experience. We bring the drums, the bass, and the electric guitars to venues like Jagriti Theatre or local clubs. This is the setup for when you want people on their feet.
- The Repertoire: From The Eagles to CCR and Clapton, we focus on the hits that everyone knows. We don't just cover them; we inhabit them.
- Production: Because we are a full quartet, we take production seriously. We come with our own backline—guitars, pedalboards, and cymbals—but we do ask that you provide a professional PA system and monitors so we can ensure the sound is crisp and balanced for your guests.
Planning Your Event
If you are planning a themed night or a private party, keep in mind that we need about 60 to 90 minutes for load-in and sound check. We are based in Bengaluru and are happy to travel for gigs. If you want a specific vibe, reach out and we can chat about the setlist—I love building a flow that fits the room.
