These were some of over 20 performances the band played throughout Singapore for SG50.

Sam Driscoll (vocals) Elwin Lim (lead guitar), Joshua (bass) and CK (percussion) performed an acoustic version of Bruno Mars “Treasure” at the Gardens by the Bay concert on 24 April at the Supertree Grove of Gardens By The Bay. The band performed the last set of this concert before the Gentle Bones set.

The acts featured are finalists for the “Youth Celebrates Earth!” artist showcase. These artists represent some of the newest and upcoming musicians in Singapore. The event was organised by Overheard and Timbre.

Gentle Bones – Geniuses & Thieves 2016

Singer-songwriter Joel Tan, better known by his stage name Gentle Bones songs are No. 1 on both contemporary music formats, such as the local iTunes digital charts as well as traditional formats such as radio, and his music videos on YouTube rack up hundreds of thousands of views.

Earlier this year, he became the first Singapore artist to win the Super Nova Award at the Hong Kong Asian-Pop Music Festival 2016 and the first to be listed in the inaugural Forbes 30 Under 30 list for entertainment and sports personalities in Asia.

These are feats unheard of for a home-grown act who, until he became the first local artist to be signed on with major label Universal Music Singapore last year, built up his name as an indie artist who ran what might be called a DIY operation.
