Hong Kong Tour Highlights (and Pics!)

Tweet

So I went to Hong Kong.

And it was amazing. Probably the best part was all the wonderful people I met during the trip. And the chance encounters. Some highlights included:

1. Going to a chiropractor's office
2. Buying a tripod at the flea market (almost bought a 1989 Gameboy)
3. Had awesome chocolate rose drink at Full Cup Cafe in Mongkok
4. Played two awesome gigs (at Full Cup Cafe and Shanghai Street Studios)
5. Visiting the Hong Kong International Hobby and Toy Museum
6. Checking out the light show 'A Symphony of Lights' at the harbour
7. Became the first artist-in-residence at Shanghai Street Studios and wrote a song there!

I really want to go back to Hong Kong again sometime next year!

Hi!!!

I'm really excited because I'm making my Hong Kong debut this month! I don't know that many people in Hong Kong but the few awesome friends I know have been helping out a lot. 

After a long string of emails and FB messages, we've managed to organize a few cool events. =)

I'll be playing two gigs and teaching a workshop especially for singer-guitarists and singer-songwriters. 

If you're in Hong Kong (or have friends there) I hope you can tell them about the show. Every tweet, e-mail, message, sms, call or Skype message to a friend helps!

Here are the full details:

[Shanghai Street Studios Concert]

You're invited to an intimate acoustic guitar concert at the lovely Shanghai Street Studios! 

My name is Az Samad and it's my first time ever in Hong Kong. I'm excited to invite you to this unique concert experience.

You'll hear me play songs from my upcoming album 'Our Voice' and... a variety of songs written over the years in Malaysia, California, Boston, West Virginia - places I've lived and traveled to. 

You'll hear some stories - and maybe some jokes too!

It will be purely acoustic. Just the guitar direct to you. No amps. No speakers. This is one of the best ways for you to experience the music and I'm happy to get a chance to share it with you.

As the space is intimate, we can only accommodate a small audience. 

It would be great if you could let us know if you're coming so your spot is booked. =)

HK $120
