Singer/songwriter Surahbhi performs poetic and beautiful songs accompanied by Adarsha on acoustic guitar.  They have been performing together for 20years and this can be felt by the deep synchronicity with which they interact musically.  '...Surahbhi has a truly remarkable voice.  The huskier earth-bound notes of her lower register share an intimacy...whispering a reminder that my vulnerability is the source of true passion...then she soars high into pure heavenly realms...' Kinski, Kindred Spirit www.myspace.com/surahbhimcmellahn
