A Whole New World, If Ever You're IN My Arms Again: Peabo Bryson Is Making 3 STops In His PH Concert Tour 2023

Ovation Productions brings back the top-tier adult contemporary balladeer, Peabo Bryson in the Philippines. The two-time GRAMMY winner and Living Legend Trumpet Awardee is set to hold his Philippine concert tour 2023 in Manila on July 19 at the New Frontier Theater, in Cebu on July 21 at the Waterfront Hotel, and in Davao on July 23 at SMX Convention Center.  

Robert Peabo Bryson has established a career as one of the premier male vocalists in contemporary music of the last quarter century. Bryson’s first break came during a recording session at Atlanta’s Bullet/Bang Records. The young singer caught the ear of the label’s then-general manager, Eddie Biscoe. Biscoe signed Bryson to a contract as a writer, producer, and arranger and encouraged. Bryson to perform his own songs. For several years Bryson worked with hometown bands and wrote and produced for Bang. In 1976, he released his debut LP, “Peabo”. The project featured Peabo composing nearly all of the songs (some with the great Thom Bell), a young Luther Vandross among the background vocalists, and sexy black film star Tamara “Cleopatra Jones” Dobson showing him love on the back jacket. 

Swedish Boyband JTR and Their Philippine Promo Tour

JTR is a Swedish boy band made up of three brothers - John Andreasson (aged 25), Tom Lundbäck (aged 22) and Robin Lundbäck (aged 21). The band’s name is made up of the first letters of their given names John, Tom and Robin. The brothers’ stepdad and mentor, Hayden Bell, is a renowned Sony Music for the Asian region, and was also instrumental to the success of “You Ruin Me” hitmaker duo, The Veronicas.

Even with the mentoring of a music label biggie, JTR made it quite huge all on their own. Flying from Sweden to Australia, the trio auditioned in the 5th season of The X Factor Australia in 2013, impressing the judges and the audience with their cover of Justin Bieber’s “As Long As You Love Me”, adding rap lines in between. Finishing seventh in the competition, JTR started working on original material for their very own record.
