National Day Sing-Along Medley by Shili & Adi  (Green Roof)
Shili & Adi (Band) – Known for fresh piano arrangements, smooth vocal harmony and unmistakable chemistry, ShiLi & Adi has emerged as one of the top vocal duo in the industry. Their versality is shown either in a two-piece acoustic setting, going back to basics with a stripped down arrangement of just vocals and a keyboard, or backed by their spunky band, crooning fun, romantic, and show-stopping tunes with an eclectic and dynamic mix of music from chart-topping hits to classics by legends Nat King Cole and Frank Sinatra, always giving an eargasmic treat to audiences.

Regine's infectious energy and outgoing nature has captured her audiences' hearts. Not only is she adept at the latest hits, evergreen tunes and even jazz. And John who has a wide vocal range and solid guitar skills, he switches effortlessly from heavy old school rock ballads of Journey and Bon Jovi to classics from Sinatra and Nat King Cole. This beautiful duo will surely melt your hearts away.
