June has come and gone, and with it, a great curation of live music in Singapore. Fret not, though, as the month of July is doubling up on the action with performances from Kin Leonn, Forests, Caracal, Marijannah and more.
Below, we list down the local concerts to attend in Singapore in July 2019.
Commune Album Launch by Kin Leonn
When: 5 July
Where: Esplanade Recital Studio
Commune, the debut album by Singaporean producer and musician Kin Leonn invites the interrogation of established definitions: What is music? What is ambient? The ground-up examination of these terms is crucial to understanding the 10-track collection that was released into the ether in 2018.
This July, Kin Leonn will bring Commune to life at the Esplanade Recital Studio, as part of the Mosaic Music Series.
