Singer-songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Dave Elkins will be here in CDO for an intimate performance at Apartment 1. Elkins, frontman of the American indie rock band Mae, is in the Philippines for performances in Manila, Baguio, and Cebu. His CDO performance is an unexpected stop.
This is a deeply special moment for the city’s independent music community as Elkins is considered one of the major stand outs of the indie rock and alternative world.
Presented by Indie CDO, Apartment 1, and Corridor Music Group, the event brings an artist whose music shaped a generation of listeners into one of the city’s most intimate live music spaces.
Featuring performances from local acts The Afternoon Sessions, The Common Cassette, Teachers Stand Together, and Annalogue, the show will take place on March 13, 2026 (Friday), at Apartment 1, Tomas Saco–16th Streets, Nazareth. The program will start at 8:00 PM.
Tickets are ₱1,000 (pre-selling) and ₱1,300 (walk-in). Reservations can be made at:

The event is sponsored by Apartment 1, Permiro Coffee, Lux Interna Security Agency, Jed Duo, and Kara Nery.
For many local fans and musicians who grew up listening to Mae, the chance to see Dave Elkins perform in such an intimate setting is a rare and memorable moment for the Cagayan de Oro music scene. (With Press Release)
