Local band The Sam Willows held their first solo concert in Singapore to a screaming crowd of 2,500 fans at The Coliseum, Hard Rock Hotel Singapore, on 22 July.
The Take Heart Tour, named after their 2016 debut album ‘Take Heart”, is a milestone for the band. Since their debut on YouTube in 2012, they have grown to become a jewel in the crown of Singapore’s music scene with multiple accolades such as becoming the first Spotify Spotlight Artist in Asia.
Band members Benjamin and Narelle Kheng, Sandra Riley Tang, and Jonathan Chua.
