Singapore has been abuzz with a marked surge in music-related events, from large-scale commercial concerts such as the F1 Rocks series to smaller boutique shows of lesser-known but still well-loved independent acts. This increased vibrancy can be attributed to the rising number of live music promoters on the island that collectively cater to a varied range of genres. One of the fresh faces in the circle of live music promoters is Snowbird Productions, whose list of past events include the concerts of YouTube sensations like ‘Walk Off The Earth’ (five people, one guitar and that viral cover of ‘Somebody That I Used to Know’) and the cute-as-a-button duo Jayesslee. Their roster of upcoming concerts is no less exciting, featuring the frontmen of Bayside and Saves the Day as well as a rescheduled date for punk-rock heroes The Ataris. Music Weekly chats with Shane Wang and Clement Dubberke, the folks behind Snowbird Productions to find out more about their whimsical moniker, their journey so far and their future plans.
Music Weekly: First things first – what is the story or the inspiration behind the name ‘Snowbird Productions’?
The main concern is still being able to get people to go. We want to show the artist how great Singapore is and also show Singaporeans the talent these artists have, through their music. Not forgetting that we are trying to build up our local music scene as well. Giving local artists performance opportunities, and paying them accordingly for what they do.
What are your future shows and what else can we expect from Snowbird Productions in time to come?
More shows definitely, but for now, as they are all in the works, so we cannot really announce who they are. Be sure to ‘like’ us on Facebook to get first hand news on the latest events by us!
