This is the first thing a visitor sees, a curated glimpse into the heart and soul of Urban Solace. I've selected these visuals to capture the vibrant, diverse, and intimate energy of our space, showcasing the range of experiences we offer from poetry and music to comedy and community.
Tuesdays with the Bard: The Heart of Poetry
For over 15 years, this has been our soul. Every Tuesday, our stage transforms into a sanctuary for poets and spoken word artists, an event so cherished it's in the Limca Book of Records. I provide a professional setup with warm lighting and clear sound, creating an intimate space where every word is felt, whether you're a first-timer or a seasoned poet.
LOL @ Urban Solace: Where Bangalore Laughs
I am proud to have kicked off Bangalore's comedy scene with LOL @ Urban Solace, the city's very first comedy stage. Every Wednesday, we host a laughter-filled evening featuring a fresh lineup of the city's most loved comics, from rising stars to established names. It's your midweek dose of humor in a cozy, supportive setting.
Friday Night Unplugged: Soulful Music Sessions
Fridays are for pure, unplugged music. I wanted a space where the connection between the artist and audience is real and unfiltered. We host a range of musicians for raw, acoustic sets, from solo singer-songwriters to instrumentalists, creating that intimate, living-room concert vibe.
A Stage for Every Story: Diverse Performances
Our stage is a melting pot of creativity, welcoming every kind of artist. This is where you'll find our SoulStage mixed open mics, classical Indian dance like Kathak, devotional Bhakti music, and more. If you have a story to tell or a talent to share, our mic is open for you.
Beyond the Mic: Art, Film & Special Events
Urban Solace is more than a performance venue; it's a cultural hub. We host a variety of unique events including curated art exhibitions, film screenings for emerging filmmakers, insightful quiz nights, and spiritual sessions like tarot readings. There is always something new to experience and connect with.
Our Community: Performers & Patrons
This is the heart of Urban Solace: the people. I am overjoyed to have built a community where artists and audiences connect on a personal level. These images capture the smiles, the support, and the shared moments of joy that make our cafe a true 'home for the soul'.
Our Story in Print: Posters & Publications
This is our wall of fame, a tribute to the incredible talent that has graced our stage and the stories we've shared. Here you'll find posters from our past events, features in the press, and published poems from our community. It's a living archive of our 15-year journey in art and expression.
