Vikesh Kapoor
Bush Hall, 11 November 2015
There’s not much doubt that Vikesh Kapoor is a huge Bob
Dylan fan. When he walks onstage he is dressed in an outfit that could have
been hanging in the legend’s wardrobe back in 1965: short brown suede jacket,
drainpipe jeans and pointy Beatle boots, and on top of that there’s the curly
hair standing tall on top of his head and the way he carries his acoustic
guitar up high. From behind he might well be mistaken for youthful Dylan.
Musically, it’s not quite as obvious, although he’s an acoustic storyteller, he
reminds me more of the mournful sounds of A.A. Bondy or even Ryan Adams at his
most sparse.
