About

M-A-D #Blues Night, presents the triumvirate of Music, Art and Design to celebrate #BLUE, a prominent theme of The Monsoon Festival 8. In association with Blue Frog, we present this unique concept evening.

Music – Blue is the colour of mood and the Blues tell it nicely… Three acts – Tshering Theeng, Me and the Devil, and the Big Bang Blues – all Delhi based Blues people, come together at this M-A-D #Blues Night to evoke the many monsoony emotions crafted in the form of Blues. Excitement, longing, passion and love….

Tshering Theeng – blues acoustic solo/ Tshering, who goes by the name Pen Cap Chew, is a singer/songwriter influenced by The Doors, Bob Dylan and blues chords. A native of Sikkim, Theeng is breaking on to the Delhi music scene with a wide variety of originals and covers in his repertoire.

Me and the Devil – blues acoustic duo / Me and the Devil is a duo comprising Kapil Chetri and Sushant Thakur. Heavily influenced by the Delta Blues, they are working to revive blues listening as it was before it went to Chicago and got electrified – the woes of the enslaved soul and all the storminess of such an existence resonates through Kapil’s steel guitar and harmonica, bringing out the true ethos of the blues.

Big Bang Blues – electric blues band / The Big Bang Blues is a name that has become synonymous with the young sound of upbeat blues throughout the music community across India. Famously part of the Mahindra Blues Festival earlier this year, the band has evolved over the four years since they launched themselves, adding many originals to their large cache of covers.

Art – Digital Blue Monsoon Experiences by Ameet Singh. Ameet Singh, returns to the Monsoon Festival with monsoon love created digitally, to soak you in a blue world with his poetic projections.
