The wish to create an intimate space for music has beautifully combined to create a gig series in Mumbai called The Living Room Tour.

What Is It?
Started in 2016, this was first organised by Ramya Pothuri, Ronit Sarkar {aka Awkward Bong} and Rishi Bradoo {producer of the EP and member of BLEK},and now is a series of gigs held in Mumbai, but not in a noisy bar or distracted restaurant. As the name suggests, it takes place in the eponymous living room, an obscure yet warm music studio, or places as homely as that.
Last year, the concept has sprung off with the main motive had been to launch 20-year-old Ramya Pothuri’s newest EP {more than a single, less than a full album} which has four beautiful acoustic Indie-folk songs written and sung by her. Now, The Living Room Tour concert being held on July 9 will also showcase other great talent from the city other than Ramya, such as Tejas Menon, Lawntuba, Gowri Jayakumar.
The reason for this being a quieter affair is that vocals and guitar usually tend get drowned out by the chattering and buzzing of a regular gig place, whereas in smaller rooms with fewer distractions, they shine.
