Meanwhile, American cover band Boyce Avenue are set to perform in Singapore on April 19. They will bring their nostalgic covers and reimaginings of popular songs to Ho Bee Auditorium at the National University of Singapore.
The band consist of brothers Daniel Manzano, 44; Fabian Manzano, 40; and Alejandro Manzano, 38. They will be supported by opening act Daniel Sid, a Singaporean multi-instrumentalist, vocalist and producer who straddles pop, R&B and soul.
Tickets for the show are on sale now via Ticketmaster, with prices starting at $98.
The concert will mark the band’s first show here since Boyce Avenue Live In Singapore in 2018 at The Star Theatre.
Boyce Avenue gave a shout-out to Prime Minister Lawrence Wong in a Facebook post on March 4.
“Hi Singapore, we’re coming back to town. We’ve heard you’re celebrating your 60th birthday soon – and we’re excited to see you all in April,” the band wrote. “We also heard that your Prime Minister, Lawrence Wong, is a great guitarist. Mr Prime Minister, if you would like to join us on stage or collaborate backstage on April 19, let us know.”
Boyce Avenue, which hail from Florida, have garnered a global fan base since they began posting their covers on YouTube in 2007.
The Manzano brothers’ YouTube channel has more than 16.8 million subscribers. The band have recorded their own material on albums such as All We Have Left (2010) and Road Less Traveled (2016).
