Rudra which comprised three members – Abhay Dohar (drummer), Gaurav (vocalist) and Rishabh Mahajan (lead guitarist) left no stone unturned to regale Nagpurians with their mesmerising music.
The episode two of The Music Story started as Nagpur singer Naman Agni took to the stage and gave the show a perfect start. Thereafter, Rudra occupied the stage and churned out popular Bollywood numbers one after the other in their own unique style. Their aggressive music style mixed with perfect co-ordination with each other resulted in foot-tapping music which kept the audience glued to their seats. Rudra also sang some of its compositions dedicated to Lord Shiva. Before Rudra wrapped up the show with their last song for the audience, singer Ishan Khan who’s quite popular among the Nagpur party goers performed and obliged music lovers with their requests. Interactive sessions related to music in-between the show kept the audience engaged and made them win gift vouchers from Studio Hair Habits – the grooming partner for The Music Story.
The Music Story ? a series of musical performances to be organised at various venues across the city ? has been conceptualised by Abhishek Thakurs Radiant Brands and Solutions India Private Limited. While the entire production is being managed by Zibran Khan (Production Head), the artists are being managed by Ashutosh Mohta.
