Alex Goot and Against the Current: Live in Manila

MANILA, Philippines - Acclaimed singer-songwriters Alex Goot (photo) and Against the Current are set to rock the Manila stage for their first Australia-Asia tour, presented by Ellipsis Live, DMC Philippines and Phoenix Productions.

Young, thoughtful and original, the talented Alex Goot is excited to be playing in Manila for the first time on Aug. 30.

With his unique way of reimagining other artists’ material, Alex rose quickly through the ranks of YouTube’s Top 200 channels. As of this month, he has captured the hearts of over 1.8 million subscribers and gained over 287 million views on YouTube.

Hailing from upstate New York, Alex performed to a sold-out crowd of 5,000 people in London’s Hammersmith Apollo last year. He also headlined a month-long US/Canada tour featuring various YouTube collaborators.

After releasing his second EP titled Wake Up Call, Alex said he is excited to share his music live with his Pinoy fans.

The one-night only concert will also feature pop-rock band Against the Current. Frontwoman Chrissy Costanza, guitarist Daniel Gow, and drummer William Ferri have made waves in the traditional rock touring circuit and on YouTube, gaining a sizeable following since their formation in 2012.

They have just released their album the Infinity EP and completed their first US/Canadian headliner tour this summer, and are looking forward to joining Alex in Manila for the first time.

Alex Goot and Against the Current will perform in Manila on Aug. 30,  8 p.m. at Tanghalang Nicanor Abelardo (CCP Main Theater). The concert is presented by Ellipsis Live, Phoenix Production, Mossimo, Volvo Phils., DMC Philippines and Solaire Resort & Casino (Official Residence ).
