MAY 30: Poolside Open Mic #91 ft Gabriel Lynch
Australian singer songwriter Gabriel Lynch has spent much of his adult life travelling and wowing audiences across Asia, Europe and his own home turf with his breathtaking live performances. With his powerful command of the stage, he can incite a pin-drop silence as quickly and effortlessly as he can instigate a soaring, cathartic singalong.
He has shared festival lineups with the likes of Elbow, John Butler Trio, The Whitlams and Architecture in Helsinki and is as familiar playing to small coffee house audiences as he is crowded outdoor amphitheaters. Lynch now resides in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. In between tours and expanding upon his already extensive catalogue of studio releases, he composes music professionally for radio, film and television on behalf of Maveriq Studios.
With Open mics from James Nakason, Juan & Wilson, Juan, Nana Lee, Shreya Menon, Previna & Jacquelyn and Veena. To sign up for the open mic, email us@openmicmalaysia.org
