SHUGO TOKUMARU

Japanese multi-instrumentalist Shugo Tokumaru's gig at the Esplanade Recital Studio in 2010 is one that I still remember with much fondness. His whimsical, intricately layered soundscapes are magical live and his exuberance in making music is simply infectious.

FEIST

Pleasure, the fifth album by Canadian indie pop singer-songwriter Leslie Feist that was released earlier this year, has been well-received by critics.

She last played here at the Laneway Festival in 2012.
