New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ OCBC Titanium) OCBC Titanium Presents Timbre Rock & Roots returns on Friday and Saturday, 15 and 16 April 2011 with an even more explosive line-up of world-class musicians, multiple GRAMMY Awards winners and nominees. To be held at the beautiful Marina Promenade on the Singapore Grand Prix F1 tracks behind the Singapore Flyer, the two evenings promise to be exciting and alternative night outs of soul-spinning music entertainment. The strength of last year's artists line-up (The Fray; Buddy Guy; Gipsy Kings; Jools Holland & His R&B Orchestra; Orquesta Buena Vista Social Club) was just the tip of the iceberg. This year's artists alone produced 25 Grammy Awards and even more nominations. "OCBC Titanium Presents Timbre Rock & Roots 2011 artists were programmed carefully. Singapore is the first stop for these artists before they embark on Australian tours and we are proud to say that this year's bill is a a fine balance between diversity, mainstream favs and with a couple of surprises from our coup." says Mr. Edward Chia, Co-Festival Director. Each festival night will see at least three headlining acts taking to the stage playing full sets. Rock & Roots continues its mandate to present great acts but still remains accessible - certainly a value-for-money proposition compared to the current live music climate. "We are taking a risk charging such affordable prices for the market here but we want as many people to enjoy the festival. Basically one gets to enjoy at least four top-notch concerts in one night with just a single-day pass! Once audience numbers grow, it is one step closer to our objective to expand Rock & Roots line-up and for someday to be as extensive as Bluesfest." says Mr. Peter Noble, Co-Festival Director. 2011 artists line-up includes: Bob Dylan, John Legend, Imogen Heap, Michael Franti & Spearhead, Toots & The Maytals, Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue and Raw Earth.
