18 Oct ~ Tux
Their name, a somewhat irreverent contraction of tuxedo, certainly reflects their singing style. Tux is elegant yet catchy, delivering favourite from the golden musical eras of the 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s with a distinct contemporary feel. Their style and dynamism appeal to fans of all age groups.
Tux's constant insistence on excellence has earned them the coveted Aliw Award for Most Promising Showband/Group in the Philippines and later the Best Showband/Group award. They were a part of the International A Cappella Festival in 1998 and have performed with the biggest names in the region. They launched the TUXapella Christmas Album in 2002 and continue to entertain audiences from all over the world.

The bass is Bert Bacco, showing off his really deep rumble. Next is Deke Sharon and Garth Kravitis, the group's vocal instrumentalist wh...
