Gregory Marino will
start the weekend at Farm
to Table with
an early evening solo acoustic slot. The
talented Canadian is a singer-songwriter in the
indie-alternative-folk style
of Sam Roberts or Neil Young.
The former Marsyas
guitarist has once again become a very active part of the music scene
in Phnom Penh, with recent performances at Chinese
House
and the Raggamuffin
Boathouse – in
addition to hosting a regular Thursday night open mic at Top
Banana.
Someone
at Farm to Table
clearly has very good taste, as the venue continues to book
high-quality acoustic acts each Friday night.
Check out
Greg
Marino's Soundcloud
page to
hear a great acoustic track from a couple of years ago entitled
'Delay'.
Black Pearl Pub,
on Street 172 in Phnom Penh, will this Friday night become a live
music venue. The
inaugural evening will indeed be a special one - featuring one of the
most talented arrivals to hit Cambodia in recent years alongside
two of Phnom Penh's most celebrated expat musicians. Clay
George
(vocals/guitar) will lead a band comprising of Phil
Javelle
(keys/multi-instrumentalist), Lewis
Pragasam
(drums/percussion) and two unnamed 'mystery
guests'. The
repertoire of choice will be cuts from Clay George's multi-album
catalogue (check
out the bandcamp
page), together with all-time country music classics.
Itinerant
trap-walkers (for
the uninitiated, a 'trap-walker' is a gadfly-like Phnom Penh gig-goer
who takes advantage of the close proximity and easy access to live
shows in the city by taking in at least three different acts in one
night – often
for only a few songs at a time) should note that the $5 cover charge
at Black Pearl
includes not
only a free cocktail but 'a permanent 10% discount on the food and
beverages menu' (Facebook event page).
Phil Javelle and
Lewis Pragasam
will also play as a trio
with Ritchy Boisson
at Bassac Lanes
on Saturday night.

live music slot with Jeffro
Sills
(vocals/guitar), featuring Colin
Grafton
(harmonica). Jeffro is a bona fide Chicago bluesman with
years of experience on the stages of 'The Windy City'.
