Join Gabs for a heartfelt evening of acoustic nostalgia as he reimagines classic hits from the ‘80s and ‘90s—songs he grew up listening to in bars and his dad’s car! Experience reimagined rock anthems from Guns N’ Roses, soulful classics like Man in the Mirror and Fast Car, and even groovy show tunes from Grease and Mamma Mia.

 

Celebrate these timeless favourites in an intimate night of stripped-down, soothing acoustic arrangements.

Gabs grew up in Suzhou, China, where he first began performing in local bars, discovering his voice through blues, soul and singer-songwriter genres.

 

Over the past year, he has honed his craft by busking on the streets. He has also recently appeared on MediaCorp’s Battle of the Buskers.

 

Gabs seeks to blend the emotional depth of the singer-songwriter genre with the melodic sensitivity of blues and gospel in his original work, expressing himself through music that is both intimate and heartfelt.
