SINGAPORE: The Sam Willows have become the latest band to join the Shure Artist family.
Formed in mid-2012, the band is made up of siblings Benjamin and Narelle Kheng and their friends Sandra Riley Tang and Jon Chua. In the past, the band won a week of studio time with five-time Grammy award winning producer Steve Lillywhite, CBE, courtesy of The Music Society, Singapore, and were invited to play at three other international music festivals; the Digital and Music Matters in Singapore (May 2013), as well as MU:CON and Zandari Festa in Seoul, South Korea (October 2013) and the Western Australian Music Festival (WAM 2013) in Perth, Australia.
