[UPDATE on Nov 27: Gentle Bones has cancelled his December 10 gig due to “unforeseen circumstances”. His full statement, published on his Instagram page, is below:
“With an extremely heavy heart, I must inform you all that the 10th of December show at the Esplanade Concert hall has been cancelled. Due to unforeseen circumstances, we are going to have to hold this off for now. I am terribly sorry for the inconvenience this has caused to all of you. My team and I are currently working on rescheduling show dates for 2016 and I’ll do my very best to make up for all of this. Refund details can be found through @universalmusg. You guys sold out the show within a month and it pains me to say that it’s going to have to wait. Please be patient with me!”

Here’s definite proof that the local music scene is growing: local singer-songwriter Gentle Bones will perform his debut ticketed concert at the Esplanade Concert Hall this December!
The show will feature debut performances of his new songs off his upcoming second EP, along with crowd favourites like “Until We Die” and “Settle Down” from his chart-topping, self-titled debut EP. Fans can expect a night of visual spectacle and an unforgettable performance by Gentle Bones and his full band (hello, Josh Wei!)
Joel shared, “This concert marks a huge milestone to my musical career. Months of preparations have gone into this show and I’m glad I have the opportunity to present my new music along with revisions of the old, in the beautiful Esplanade Concert Hall. Many exciting things are almost due and I’d like the people at home to be the first to experience it live.”
