Biography

The Big Country Band is a LIVE act based out of Margao, Goa. With the advent of amplified music, the earlier cherished wind and string instruments were left to collect cobwebs and dust, to pave the way for the electric guitars, synthesisers, and electronically enhanced percussion instruments, to gormandize on the centre stage. However, the old styles and independent music is re-emerging anew, with people being discontented with the cacophony of sound and ear-splitting experience, and that is precisely what The Big Country Band is. With Melcon on violin, lead guitar, keyboards and mandolin, Desmond on bass, Joey on keyboards, and Sergio on drums, the band is set to flourish - a happy amalgamation of the old and the new. The Big Country Band has already carved their singularity in the Goan musical environs after performing for various functions and events in and around Goa and abroad. Their accomplished credentials enable them to bring forth a talented expertise that is both multifaceted in instrumentalization and lush in harmony. Their music, with the violin as the main bastion, incorporates the classic oldies from the golden '40's, to the vibrant contemporary trend, performed adroitly in its unique flair.
