55th Anniversary of Jerry & The NeuFaces
Celebrating 55 years in music, Jerry & The NeuFaces take audiences on a journey through the band’s storied career. Accompanied by rarely seen photos and videos, the concert traces their rise from the local club circuit of the 1970s to international tours across Europe and Asia following their breakthrough in the 1980s and 1990s after signing a recording contract with Polygram Records.
Audiences can expect favourites like Gadis Manis and covers of songs such as Tom Jones’s Delilah, Engelbert Humperdinck’s Quando Quando Quando, Lionel Richie’s Easy and more. The concert will be hosted by Belinda Sunshine, one of the pioneer DJs of 987FM, with an opening performance by veteran band Silver Strings.
Jerry & The NeuFaces debuted as a full-fledged band in 1972 at the Pink Pussycat Nite Club & Lounge on Orchard Road, Singapore.
The band later recorded the Malay album Muka Baru with PolyGram Records, featuring songs such as Gadis Manis and Cinta Yang Suci. In 2009, they published their biographical book, To Be a Rock but Not to Roll, which sold out.
Over the years, the band has toured across Asia, the Middle East and parts of Europe, and remains active today. Most recently, they released two new songs, The Lights Went Out and For You, in 2023.
