"The main criteria for choosing a band or a performer for this event is a high standard of songwriting and performance set in a acoustic/semi-acoustic vibe," says Uday Benegal, one of India's first rock musicians, who fronted bands like Rock Machine, Indus Creed and Alms for Shanti. The rocker, who will be sourcing, selecting and presenting new talent for the Tuborg Acoustic Adventure, feels it's high time that talented musicians got a chance to explore the acoustic space. "Rock is doing pretty well as a genre, so is electronica. But nobody is exploring the acoustic space to its optimum."

Today's gig will see Nikhil D'souza, who has been seen performing at Mumbai clubs like Blue Frog, perform. "It's great for singer-songwriters who are trying to put out original material. This kind of music is limited to a particular genre it can be anything, pop, rock or folk."
