Singer-songwriter/guitarist Fiona Tozer and legendary fiddle player Anton Cawthorn-Blazeby will perform at Emoyeni Lodge, Camperdown on July 24.Drawing on their extensive experiences in folk, rock, jazz and classical music, these Durban musicians, well-known in their own right, combine their talents to create a new and excitingly eclectic sound. They play their own compositions, with Anton’s violin providing the exuberant element of Irish melody, and Fiona contributing contemporary songs with insightful lyrics and tight guitar work.
Fiona Tozer started her musical career as a self-taught singer and guitarist. She has travelled widely, performing with musicians from all over the world and developing a unique personal style of songwriting. Her songs vary from contemporary folk melodies for solo voice and guitar to arrangements for acoustic rock and, more recently, the addition of other instruments. Her lyrics comment on different aspects of the human condition, with empathy and sometimes satirical humour. Fiona's music has evolved, changing to meet and challenge her capabilities for song writing and she is constantly trying to expand her horizons to find new ways of expressing new ideas.
