I’ll be performing together with Victor, my good friend and long-time collaborator in the arts, next week at the Esplanade!
Date: Friday, 28 March 2025
Time: 7pm to 9.30pm
Venue: Esplanade Outdoor Theatre
Titled Singaporeana Blues, the performance combines music and stagecraft with the literary arts, exploring the universality of the human experience across time and space through themes that include love, longing and loss.
This performance will feature blues classics curated by Victor to a selection of published and unpublished works written over the course of my career. I’ll also debut a new poem written in 2025, entitled “Obituary”.
Victor will be performing as part of DeltaV, the platform through which he presents the blues and its sub-genres in exploratory instrumental line-ups.
This time, his fellow scholar of the blues, Brian Lim, will be playing the harmonica to channel the classic blues duo sound originating from the Mississippi Delta.
Some of the blues musicians DeltaV will cover include Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf and Mississippi Fred McDowell.
Please join us if you can! More details on the Esplanade website here.
