Music Performances
Music Performance 1: Abby Simone and Oli – Jazz
They say the chemistry between best friends is like no other. Abby loves writing. Oli makes music even when he’s subconscious. Mixing it with passion and a tinge of humour, Abby (lead vocals) and Oli (electric strings) formed MMLD with Farhan (trumpkeys) and Melvin (percussions & belly dancer). Roadtrip music - that is how they classify their tunes informally. Mixed with funky soul reggae in their own style, the band has performed for various local and international festivals such as Conscious and Shinefest, multiple events from Esplanade Productions. Having their own residency show at a local joint Intermission every second Friday of the month, their melodies keep you grooving from your toes to brows.
Music Performance 2: The Kollective - Acoustic
Music Performance 2: The Kollective - Acoustic (5.15pm to 6.15pm) Kollective is a Singaporean cover band. We play a wide range of easy listening top forties, classics, rock, and have performed on a variety of stages from pub resident stages to music festival stages. We love music, entertainment and fun, and hope you'll have as much fun as we have entertaining you!
Music Performance 3: Jack and Rai – Top 40
Starting off as solo acoustic musicians more than a decade ago, Jack & Rai came together in 2002 to form an acoustic/rock duo with a chemistry that borders telepathic. Their easy-going and engaging natures makes any audience feel right at home when watching them. Jack & Rai have built their presence such that aside from appearing at their regular night gigs at bars, they've played numerous public and corporate events, at a plethora of venues in Singapore and parts of Asia, and earned themselves accolades like Elle Magazine's Musicians of the Year, as well as M:Idea Youth Choice's 'Band I Wanna throw myself at’. They also have done several radio and TV appearances, on local airwaves as well as Asian channels like Star World and AXN, as well as written songs for Mediacorp 5, Okto and Disney Channel Asia.
