Following a roaring first edition, the National Centre for Performing Arts (NCPA) is delighted to bring back ‘Soulful Blues' on the March 16 to March 17 in Nariman Point. Hosted by Brian Tellis, the festival will feature performances by two of the leading award-winning artistes - Demetria Taylor and Terrie Odabi, for their first ever shows in India.

Demetria Taylor, daughter of the venerated Chicago Blues musician Eddie Taylor, has won numerous accolades including the Best Female Blues Artist of the Year, Most Outstanding Blues Singer of the Year and Best Blues Album of 2022.

Terrie Odabi, the Oakland-based blues singer and songwriter, is a seven-time Blues Music Award nominee. She is said to have been the most dynamic blues and soul artiste to have emerged out of the Bay Area since Etta James.
