The Broken Cymbal are at Craft, there’s an open mic at Sunset Boulevard and Jam-Cha are joined by Scapegoat Candy at Oscar’s on the Corner. In Siem Reap, Mikayla & Giuliano Turello are at Anantara Angkor Resort then Giuliano takes it late at AMBAR.
Saturday night in Phnom Penh sees Jam-Cha and Scapegoat Candy complete their mini tour at Sam’s, and Victor, lead singer from French blues rock band Dirty Deep plays at Au Marche.
