Can you perform add Backing Tracks to a Solo Acoustic Performance ?
Depending on the client requirement, i would offer 2 options for SOLO Performances 1. A Manual Drum Track - for bigger Events where one needs to create a more peppy vibe 2. Only Acoustic Guitar - for smaller private parties in peoples backyards or living rooms
Can you also throw in some Bollywood ?
I grew up on a steady dose of English Music but thanks to my Indian Roots and my involvement with the Music Industry in India i do have a repertoire of more than 100 Hindi Songs. A lot of Private Parties hosted by Asians, sometimes request a mix of good quality Hindi & English Songs.
