Event Details

Tipriti is considered as one of the finest female singers to have emerged from North East India and Rudy Wallang is considered one of the most respected blues guitarists of India. Together they formed Soulmate, a blues rock band from Shillong and this Friday they’re back on the High Spirits stage bringing you another kickass set and this time it is with their ‘Spirit Of Shillong’ Tour.

They’ve wooed audiences throughout the country and performed at India’s major music festivals like Harley Rock Riders and Ziro Music Festival as well. This gig is one you do not want to miss out on, the music is heartwarming and invigorating!

The tour is put together and produced by Overture. Overture is one of Bangalore’s premier music consultancies with years of experience in concert production, artist management and curation. Combined with their love for music and a desire to see the local homegrown scene expand beyond Indian borders, Overture has brought Soulmate almost to your doorstep all the way from the foothills of Meghalaya, this time featuring a sound that resonates with their hometown.

About the Artist:

Soulmate is a blues rock band from Shillong, Meghalaya, India. The band is primarily made up of Rudy Wallang (guitar/vocals/songwriter) and Tipriti ‘TIPS’ Kharbangar (vocals/guitar), although they frequently team up with session musicians (on drums, bass, organ and possibly other backup instruments) when on tour. They came together in February 2003 playing their first concert at the ‘Roots Festival’ at the Water Sports Complex in Umiam. Since then the band has performed many concerts all over The Northeast as well as in different parts of India, Southeast Asia, Europe, The Middle East and The USA. Soulmate gained nationwide recognition and popularity within jazz and blues circles in India after they became the only blues band to represent the country at the 23rd International Blues Challenge organized by The Blues Foundation of America, in Memphis, Tennessee, USA, in February 2007 and 2010. They were semi-finalists and performed at the Rum Boogie Café (Blues Club of The Year, 2007) and Ground Zero(2010) alongside 150 other bands and musicians from all over the world. Tipriti has won the Best Female Vocalist and Rudy won the Best Guitar Player for 2009 in the Jack Daniels Rock Awards.
