Music makes everyone lose control. Be it babies or bold tattooed muscle men, it can get anyone’s feet tapping, hips swaying and mouth unconsciously singing along known and unknown melodies, making up words as you go along. Almost everybody has their favourite song; a tune that gives them goose bumps, lets you relive memories, wipes away the ones you want to forget making you feel very much at ease. The Timbre Rock & Roots festival celebrates all of these and more.
A 2 day event held in Singapore, it features some of the biggest names in the music industry. Even Grammy Award nominees have performed at this festival and famous artists include The Fray, Imogen Heap, Wind & Fire, Bob Dylan, Buena Vista Social Club and even John Legend.
Held at Fort Canning Green, this year’s festival saw an energy ridden crowd of 11,500 celebrate music with led Zeppelin, Paul Simon, Bonnie Raitt and Robert Pant. Unlike other music festivals where food and drinks are priced heavily, Timbre Rock & Roots lets you bring your own food and other items. Picnic baskets, foldable chairs and blankets are a common sight here.
The 2013 event held on the 22nd and 23rd of March held true to the festival’s aim of capturing the diverse flavours of music. It also included some never before heard artists who are more popular in their own region; this enabled Singaporeans to be introduced to expand their playlists with more fresh musicians. 64-year old Jamaican singer Jimmy Cliff had everyone grooving to reggae tracks, like never before.
