blueFROG's take on Soulmate
We just love them, and we're not the only ones! Rudy is a brilliant composer and guitar player, respected by the entire music community in India, and Tips, the lead singer, has this incredible voice and a stage presence that will leave you breathless during the show.
Since 2003, they have performed all over India of course, but also at the Blues Challenge in Memphis (where they finished semi-finalists in 2007, be careful American blues kings, the Indians are coming!). They're part of the top 10 best bands in India, and their international career is now booming. We can only wish them good luck on the road, as they already have the talent and the spirit to make it big.
