With steadily increasing fan base of his podcast series - Euphonic Frequencies and playing his brand of music at various venue made his repertoire better. The essence of the idea behind Akbar's Court is to give back to the music community by giving upcoming artists a new forward thinking venue to showcase their skills at.

The other acts on the line up, the venue owner/promoter, the staff and the audience were all genuinely supportive of the music, kind and thoughtful. It was such a phenomenally inspiring open dialogue that Tansane feels it's now their turn to give back to upcoming artists and give them this magnificently receptive space to explore their artistic sensibilities and shall be playing the supporting opening and closing sets for the guest artists under the spotlight.
