Intimate Acoustic & Unplugged Sessions

About Intimate Acoustic & Unplugged Sessions
When booking an acoustic set, the most important detail is the space. For smaller living room gatherings, I strip it back to just me and my guitar so conversations are never drowned out. If you’re hosting at a venue with a bit more background noise, adding a tabla or keyboard player—what I call my 'Mehfil Trio'—fills the sonic space without turning it into a loud concert. It is about finding that balance where the music enhances your evening rather than competing with it.
My goal isn't just to play songs; it's to create an atmosphere where your guests feel comfortable enough to request their favorite ghazals or even join in for a chorus.
Why go acoustic?
An unplugged session is all about intimacy. Whether it is a terrace party in Delhi or a private evening in Dubai, the focus is on the lyrics and the melody. I keep the arrangements raw—vocals and rhythm guitar are at the core. This format works best when you want a relaxed, conversational vibe where people can still talk, laugh, and enjoy the music at the same time.
Choosing your setup
- Solo: Just me and my guitar. Perfect for house parties, romantic dinners, or quiet restaurant gigs where you want a background presence that feels personal.
- Duo/Trio: We add a tabla player or keyboardist. This is my recommendation for larger gatherings or spaces that need a bit more depth. The tabla brings that authentic Sufi rhythm, making the music richer while keeping it perfectly chilled.
How we handle the playlist
I love a request-friendly environment. My setlist is flexible, ranging from old-school Bollywood hits and Sufi kalaams to modern unplugged covers. Before we start, I like to chat with you about the 'vibe' of your guests. Do they prefer nostalgic 90s tracks, or do they want a soulful Sufi night? Tell me, and we will build the setlist around your story.
If you have a specific song that means something to you, let me know in advance. I’ll make sure we find the right time to play it.
