Bridging the Blues Day 2 with Raw Earth


As the night progressed, the music at the Waterfront did not lose momentum at all with Raw Earth and Skunk Jive picking up where Heritage left off. It was a like a music 'buffet' going on man! Raw Earth, another local band featuring members from another well-known local blues band Ublues such as Danny Loong and Francis Chan, took to the stage next. Like raw earth itself, the band's style revolves a lot around roots-based music such as blues, old school music and good old evergreen classics. They immediately made their presence felt (with or without Danny, haha) with a rendition of BB King's classic Thrill Is Gone.








Francis Chan, whom many have dubbed affectionately as the "James Brown of Chinatown" also sang on a couple of songs on the set was met with nothing but plenty of cheers from the crowd. You might also want to look out for Surath Godfrey (from FAIIEZ entertainment) who sings regularly at several of the Timbre outlets. Here he's seen serenading the crowd with the band's rendition of the ever so popular "When A Man Loves A Woman".



Did that leave you hanging for more? You'll be glad to know they play on Wednesdays at Timbre Substation at 45 Armenian Street from 9pm onwards.
