THE ACOUSTIC ROAD and Veda Aggarwal at Baywatch Resort, Goa

Veda has traveled over land and sea to learn the secrets of the nylon-stringed Spanish guitar. Now armed with infinite knowledge of the instrument very few have mastered and fingers that can strum like no other she will summon the powerful motifs of flamenco, make you dance the tango, with references to the masters like Bach she’ll make you laugh and sigh but mostly have fun, all under romantic starry skies.

Her last collaborative work was adapting arias from Mozart’s Don Giovianni for classical guitar, in a unique online partnership with the American soprano Samantha Chardin. One of five national finalists for the Spanish Guitar Competition in 2009, Veda has received special training from classical guitarists Roger Zimmerman and GFA 2010 winner Johannes Moller.

She has recently taken up a major project through which she intends to document the story of classical guitar in India.

The Acoustic Road performs stripped down, acoustic versions of some classic alternative, folk, country and rock anthems.Every song has it’s own T.A.R stamp on it.

Their influences:

Guns N’ Roses, Mumford & Sons, The Lumineers, Simon & Garfunkel, The Eagles, John Mayer
