Nicole Laurel Asensio to go intimate with ‘Songwriter’ for one day
The singer-songwriter strips back the production for a rare showcase of songs from her two-decade career.
Nicole Laurel Asensio will present 20 songs across two distinct sets at 78 Salcedo on 19 September. She will perform her special showcase “Songwriter” at the venue’s new second-floor space on San Agustin Street in Salcedo Village, Makati.
The performance will bypass heavy stage production to present a bare-bones, original view of her creative process. The 20 songs were selected from hundreds written throughout her career.
The first set, “Pen to Performance,” will begin at 7:00 PM and feature ten previously released tracks reimagined into a direct, intimate arrangement.
The second set, “Unspoken and Unseen,” will begin at 9:00 PM and venture into spoken word, unfinished drafts, and songs she authored that audiences may not realize she wrote. It will offer both long-time listeners and first-time attendees an unvarnished look at how her music takes shape, including unheard material performed aloud for the first time.
Nicole is a multi-awarded recording artist and performer who has spent two decades gracing stages across 16 countries. Rather than remaining in a single genre, her work spans Rock, Jazz, Classical, Soul, and Blues. “Songwriter” will strip away these broad musical personas to present her catalog directly from pen to audience.
Each set is priced at P500. Seat reservations are available at 0917 597 6661.
