  • Joey G. is one of those artists. He is a songwriter/singer/performer who has endeared himself and his body of work to music fans through the decades. It is simply a remarkable feat that he is still at it and he shows no signs of slowing down nor chooses to stop and smell the proverbial roses.

It’s the voice. It’s the songs. The contributions to the great OPM Songbook make an artist tremendous and span decades with the timeless adoration and respect of his/her peers and audiences worldwide. 

Joey G. is one of those artists. He is a songwriter/singer/performer who has endeared himself and his body of work to music fans through the decades. It is simply a remarkable feat that he is still at it and he shows no signs of slowing down nor chooses to stop and smell the proverbial roses.

This is why concert production outfit Random Minds is proud to announce that on Nov. 5, fans will be able to enjoy a whole night of both reminiscing and appreciating Joey G’s extensive repertoire with its second installment of the Random Hits Live series at the famed New Frontier Theater at the Araneta Center in Cubao, Quezon City.

Dubbed "Joey G. Side Ko Lang," longtime followers can expect nothing but the absolute best from the celebrated performer, whose uncanny ability to fuse the best in pop/rock/adult contemporary music with painfully sincere lyricism has elevated his status to legendary in the country. With his too-many-to-count smash hits his former outfit Side A (ditties like “Forevermore,” “So Many Questions,” “Set You Free,” and “Hold On,” to name a very select few…) to his melodically enthralling recent releases like 2021’s “Deep Inside” and this year’s “Letting You Go,” it is without a doubt that this will truly be one magical evening for fans of all ages. Also joining Joey G. is fellow hit-maker Juris, who is slated to add even more enchanting songs that everyone will surely sing-along to and appreciate.

“Random Hits Live is a series of shows featuring local and international acts wherein audiences can enjoy a host of hit songs and new music from their favorite artists,” says Random Minds’ main man, Allan Villegas. “Our first installment featured the Korean group Dreamcatcher, so we figured it was only natural that we also celebrate our very own legendary talents like Joey G. And as for Side Ko Lang… we also plan to bring the show out on tour outside of Manila,” shares Villegas.
