Renowned Mumbai-based guitarist Chandresh Kudwa recently embarked on an India tour across Mumbai, Pune and Delhi, where the packed audience enjoyed electrifying nights of live music regaled by Kudwa and his powerhouse band on stage.

The setlist was packed with original numbers created by them as well as quite a few popular renditions of classic rock covers. Ask him the reason for the success of this tour and Kudwa responds, "I believe with our signature twin-lead harmonies and searing solos, our energy is unmatched!" This statement certainly rings true because it was the first time Kudwa was joined on the national stage by his 13-year-old daughter and music prodigy, Eva Kudwa.

Some of the numbers played in the set included fan favourite items from his albums 'Conqueror' and 'Free Spirit', as well as fresh tracks from his latest EP titled "Through the Noise", which released earlier this year.

Arguably one of India's most respected guitarists, Kudwa has become known for his fiery technique, melodic depth and collaborations with global legends like Jennifer Batten who was the guitarist for Michael Jackson, Mattias IA Eklundh of Freak Kitchen fame and Gilby Clarke from Guns N' Roses.
