We are glad to introduce you another participant of One Caucasus 2018: Nick Infest !!!
Untill 2008 Nick Infest with other DJs were actively listening to various types of music and playing some DJ sets. They were organizing just home music parties before realized it is really worth to share music with others. They started to invite new guests, strangers and as a result expanded a scale of their music performance.
Consequently young ambitious guys created the Georgian Psychedelic Community. From small open music events they have grown up to more serious professional festivals. They mostly play psychedelic trance music, sometimes down tempo such as ambient, dub or chill.
We are glad to share with you a short interview with our next headliner: ''Red Carpet Band''
Their Musical Path started from the Cultural Center in Marneuli (town near Bolnisi), where you can learn to play various musical instruments. Band’s members were taking classes separately in this center and after meeting each other there, one day a great idea of creating a band, music and art together came to their mind. From this point they became an active part of Marneuli’s cultural life.
''Red Carpet'' makes covers of pop, rock, pop-rock, blues music.

We introduce you our next headliner - The Natural Born Lovers (Georgian - American)
The Natural Born Lovers are the only Georgian-American blues band in the world and play a wide selection of authentic material deeply rooted in classic Chicago style blues, yet the audience can expect to also hear West Coast, Memphis and New Orleans numbers, as well as the band’s original songs.
Band leader Paul Rimple began playing harmonica as a teenager. An epiphany during a Willie Dixon concert in 1981 changed his life forever.
“That’s when the blues bit me,” he says. “Muddy Waters came out and sang I Got My Mojo Working and I got weak in the knees. I knew right then that I’d be playing the blues for the rest of my life.”

We are happy to represent you our next headliner - Piotr Melech (Poland). He is an improviser. He performs as a solo musician as well as with various bands such as Poznan Horns.
One Caucasus: How and when did your musical path start ?
Piotr Melech: It's a long story...Many years ago I heard a duet of a clarinetist with a double bass in front of a bar in Brussels. The sound of the clarinet charmed me enough that I decided to become a clarinetist. Well, I am now! There were many years of practice, playing on the streets and later playing in bands. I have been playing for 18 years. I really love it!
