Earliar this year, musician Raghav Meattle let everyone on his Instagram know that he was available to play at offices and home gigs. For Meattle, whose debut album Songs from a Matchbox released recently, it was a way to drum up buzz before the launch and make people "understand where the music comes from".
After he posted and people got in touch with him, he played 13 gigs all over India, including Mumbai, Goa and Bengaluru. "The tickets were priced at Rs 300, and covered my stay and transport. All I wanted was to reach out to more people. At the end of the gig, even if there were only 30 people I was playing for, they were all blown away, and that mattered the most." Meattle also sees his living-room gigs as a welcome break from club gigs, where he always plays to please, and makes sure the audience dances the night away.
