Standard Sounds, The Standard’s music talent-scouting arm, is bringing its latest discovery – Thai reggae band “Roots Tone” – to The Standard, Hua Hin on 20 May 2023. This second Standard Sounds session this year promises multicultural tunes, drinks and bites from our Lido Bar, all served in an intimate setting against a backdrop of Hua Hin’s pristine beach.
Formed in Bangkok in 2010, Roots Tone brings together diverse musicians from different ethnicities and backgrounds who jointly compose original scores and lyrics that combine the band’s early rocksteady sound with later excursions into Reggae Dub. Their latest song, “Reflection Trip”, offers musings on the fleeting nature of life and the uncertainty of the future, while encouraging the listener to accept and understand the impermanence of things.
“Just like every Standard hotel is unique, each Standard Sounds session has a distinct musical identity that reflects the diversity within The Standard” said Mai Timblick, Chief Creative Officer, The Standard Hotels. “Roots Tone, with their crisp and contemporary take on classic Reggae was an easy choice for our beach front venue and the diverse background of the band perfectly reflects the melting pot of cultures of The Standard, Hua Hin.”
To add a special touch to this edition of Standard Sounds, Chef Ox of The Banana Ketchup, a hidden gem of a restaurant in Hua Hin, will be serving up his signature Caribbean tapas, creating the perfect blend of reggae music and Caribbean cuisine. During our Happy Hour, Lido Bar will offer refreshing craft cocktails to beat the heat, as well as a bottle of wine for only THB 1,000. Guests can also order poolside bites to nibble while lounging.
Those who want to make a weekend out of it can book the new Villa Vibes promotion by using promo code “villavibes” on the hotel website.
