APRIL 3: Naughty Nyonyas Acoustic Night ft. Miserable Man
Miserable Man is a one-man band that started as an idea on a tiny Indonesian island. One man feeling Jamaican inside - getting older with a smile on his face, waking up in front of the azure sea, and sleeping under coconut trees - thought how nice it would be to play reggae oriented music for all the folks out there.
Miserable man is here to cheer you up, with his pop steady soulful music. He tries to be a free musician in a not so free world; he tries to deliver a simple and clear message; he’s trying to be the change he wants to see in the world.
