Kapil Chetri -
Kapil Chetri took
to the guitar at an early age like most kids in the North East. “Being born and
raised in Kohima, where guitar is kind of like a household thing, he grew up
listening to blues legends like John Lee Hooker, Robert Cray, Muddy Waters, and
B.B. King. Back in Nagaland, he used to play for Kohima-based rock n roll/blues
band Heads and Tails, which played the first two editions of the Hornbill
Festival.
Chetri, who is
also part of Delhi-based blues band Big Bang Blues, has been performing solo
since October 2013. As a solo artist, he primarily uses acoustic guitars and
the slide in his sets. “I am not much into processors and other gadgets. I
use both the glass and metal slide. Glass produces a warm and mellow tone,
which a brass slide does not.”
He is also looking forward to release an EP by
the end of 2014.
Teesta Galway -
Teesta Galway is self taught
singer and guitar player who claims to have a thousand gurus. Her music is
influenced a lot by the likes of Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin and draws a lot of
inspiration from the vocal style of Tina Turner. Primarily a folk and
blue-grass artist, Teesta is mostly seen performing solo sets, but is an
equally at ease playing as a duo or with a band.
Teesta's
music is about what she grew up with and of what she is still growing up with.
She writes about the people she meets and places she dreams of travelling. To
her music is simple, mostly acoustic something a common man on the streets will
understand Teesta's music is raw and threadbare.
