Relax to a smooth harmony
It’s been a year since Anno Domini (A.D.) began making its own blend of acoustic music and the celebration of this comes in the form of a tribute to all AD fans and acoustic music lovers with an evening of unplugged music on June 24 at the Deli Market, World Trade Centre, starting 6.30 p.m.

Shehan Perera (formerly of “Damage” – Vocals/Guitar), Malith Fernando (formerly of “Quest”– Vocals/ Guitar), Adrien de Niese (Guitar) and Suraj Gunawardena (Bass/Vocals) – the members forming Anno Domini were drawn together because of a passion for acoustic music. Since getting together A.D. has steadily progressed towards achieving its goal of creating a distinct sound and identity of its own. The past year saw A.D. perform regularly at some of Colombo’s hippest hangouts including the Deli Market, Water’s Edge, Molly’s Irish Pub and Zanziba.

The first anniversary celebration will feature a number of artistes who will perform along with A.D. for the event. Already many artistes of similar musical inclinations including Flame, Ad Lib, Devashrie De Silva, Kavitha Gunasekera, and Nadeen Samarasekera have joined hands to make the evening something special. A.D. expects many more performers to add colour to the evening with a variety of performances.

Commencing with an opening act by Flame, the evening will explore the many possibilities and dimensions of acoustic music, with the artistes performing their own renditions of hits. To make the event even more momentous Anno Domini also plans to perform two originals, namely “Saved” and “How Can You” written by Shehan which are to be performed live for the first time. The Deli Market’s ambience coupled with its wide variety of food and beverages will enhance the evening’s experience.

In order to provide all music lovers the opportunity of enjoying a perfect musical experience, Anno Domini has made arrangements to make the gig accessible to all, free of an entrance charge. So if you are into smooth harmonies, guitars and classic renditions, make a date with A.D. on their first anniversary!
