The countdown begins!

In less than two months, we will be witnessing the live performance of the legendary singer-songwriter Daryl Hall on November 27, 2023, at the Mall of Asia Arena, together with The Daryl Hall’s band and Todd Rundgren as special guest.

Daryl Hall is known as half of the iconic pop-rock and number-one selling duo in music history, Hall and Oates. As a solo artist, he has a vast repertoire of songs spanning many genres, and he is an accomplished singer, songwriter, and guitarist with more than five studio albums. In addition to his career mileage, he released his first retrospective album, "BeforeAfter," on April 1, 2022. This is a compilation album of Daryl Hall’s solo work. Its 30 songs draw from his five studio albums: Sacred Songs (1980), Three Hearts in the Happy Ending Machine (1986), Soul Alone (1993), Can’t Stop Dreaming (1996), and Laughing Down Crying (2011), as well as from his running concert broadcast series, Live from Daryl’s House.

Along with some solo songs, Daryl Hall will perform many of Hall & Oates popular hits which include Maneater, Kiss On My List, Private Eyes, I Can’t Go For That (No Can Do), Out Of Touch, One On One, Say It Isn’t So, Rich Girl, Method Of Modern Love, Everytime You Go Away, She’s Gone, Sara Smile, and You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling among others. Hall's voice is still great after all these years, and his live performances are truly mesmerizing.

Currently, he is hosting an online web series, Live from Daryl's House (www.lfdh.com), which features collaborations with other artists in “Daryl's House”, his venue in Pawling, New York. Since 2007, the web series has featured appearances by many popular artists. One of the artists he featured in his show is Todd Rundgen, who will also be with him at his concert in the Philippines as his guest performer.

Todd Rundgren is an American musician, singer, songwriter, and record producer who has performed in a diverse range of styles as a solo artist and as a member of the band Utopia. He is known for his sophisticated and often unorthodox music, his occasionally lavish stage shows, and his later experiments with interactive art. His best-known songs include "Hello, It's Me" and "I Saw the Light" from Something/Anything? (1972), and “Can We Still Be Friends”, which gets frequent airtime on classic rock radio stations. He was also inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2021.

Daryl Hall is truly an incredible musician. His upcoming concert in Manila will really be epic, and it will be a night to remember as he always puts on a great show.
