Artist Information

Biography

Acarya is a Cincinnati-based rock project that is starting to emerge nationally with the rising success of songs like "Accidentally Beautiful" and "Rain Four." With their uniquely percussive and intensely acoustic approach, they describe their sound as "Tribal Rock." After recording with famed producer Erwin Musper (David Bowie, Metallica, Bruce Springsteen, Van Halen, etc) this band is surely one to be watched.

They have performed at many large and mid-sized venues in Cincinnati and are expanding quickly throughout the region. They received an honorable mention in the M.E.A.N.Y. Festival in New York City in October, 2011 and were also chosen to showcase at the Millennium Music Fest in Feb. 2012 and 2013. This past summer, they performed in New Castle, Perkasie, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, PA; New York City NY and Syracuse, NY; Atlantic City, NJ; Chicago IL; Cincinnati, Columbus, Youngstown and Athens, OH and Louisville, Florence, Richmond and Newport, KY.

Venues where they have performed include:Chicago's "Elbo Room," Louisville's Hard Rock Cafe, Madison Theater, The Southgate House, Ohio's Northside Tavern, Fountain Square, Mainstay Rock Bar, Rohs Street Cafe, Taza, Baba Budan's, G. Worthy’s, Leapin Lizard, Suba, Luxe, Midtown Tavern, World Music Fest, Cincy Rock Fest, Jubilo Music Fest, Paw Paw Fest, Chubbstock, Humanity Outpost Festival, Price Hill Cultural Festival, Turfway Commons, World Peace Jubilee and the Clifton Heights Music Festival III, IV and V.

They play every show with passion and an explosive amount of energy, and work hard to promote each gig. This group is highly professional and arrives prepared, putting on a stellar performance no matter if playing in front of 500 people or 50.
