Choice Cuts Goods + Coffee & Aaron Lee Trio Presents :
#LeadersOfTheNu Round 3
The trio comprising of Aaron James Lee, Andrew Lim & Christy Smith is a special treat happening at Choice Cuts on 6/10 not to be missed.
Being a guitar trio, it liberates them to express freely due to the lack of constraints. Adding to that, the sensitivity and fearlessness of each of the musicians keeps the music alive and breathing.
