Lately, you may have noticed posters and banners around campus spotting the word “BEAU BRISTOW”. Who/what is that? No, it’s not a type of drink or a Division One football club. It’s Beau Bristow, THE Beau Bristow! And he is making a stop at Inti UC (Nilai) as part of his Malaysia tour.
“Beau who?” you may ask. First, you must learn to pronounce his name properly. Repeat after me: BALL. Yeah it’s pronounced ‘ball’, as in football.
Anyway, Beau Bristow is an indie artist from Nashville, Tennessee (USA). His music style is a fusion of Classical, Jazz, and Folk Rock. Think Jason Mraz. One unique feature about Beau Bristow is that he uses the technique of looping, which allows him to produce the music of an entire band with only just one guitar. Cool, ain't it? However, this time he will also be accompanied by a drummer who will be playing a special type of drum.
Beau Bristow is extremely popular with university/college students. He has been to countless universities/colleges around the US to perform in gigs such as this. As a relatively young performer (in his twenties), and someone who has undergone university life, Beau Bristow can easily relate to students. The songs he writes focus on his life experiences and struggles.
You will also have a chance to meet him up close and personal during the autograph session. His newest album, “Standing Still”, will be available for sale on that night (RM25). The album is quite hard to come across locally, so take this chance to acquire your very own copy, and get it autographed by Beau Bristow himself.
In addition to Beau Bristow, the ICF band will also be performing on that night. They will be attempting some new songs, and it’s a chance to see them play like never before! If that is not enough, we will also be trying to arrange a hip-hop dance performance to spice up the evening.
For those who enjoy music, this is not an event to be missed. Mark the date 4th of June (NEXT Thursday) on your calendar. It is for one night only, and most importantly, admission is FREEE! Also, do bring your friends along. It will be a pretty amazing night, with rock numbers by the band, pumped-up dance moves, and Beau Bristow’s invigorating tunes!
