Trailz says to expect surprises, and from the sounds of it, the group is well on its way to making the night special. People have responded positively to that, and it shows in the increased size of our audience." "Every time I get a chance to perform at Discovery Green, I try to show a different side of myself. "The last time I was at Discovery Green I played the violin and ice skated on the rink to a rendition of ‘Let It Go.’ During Rainbow on the Green in 2016, I recreated part of Lady Gaga’s Superbowl Halftime Performance," Trailz said.
