(Clint
Cunningham)
The Barnyard Theatre at Gateway is staging two
performances of the Creedence Clearwater
Revival Tribute Show on January 24 and 25, after a sold-out show at the
venue in 2012.
This highly entertaining show, performed by
the acclaimed Clint & Co, has proven to be a great success at various prominent
musical theatres across Southern Africa. Many venues have been brought to life
by the party atmosphere and musical talents of these highly skilled musicians,
due in part to their uncanny ability to sound like the original Creedence
Clearwater Revival band.
The deep South roots and
swamp-pop-rockabilly sounds are brilliantly captured as one is swept away by Bad Moon Rising, Proud Mary, Have You Ever
Seen The Rain and many other old favourites.
The tribute band is headed up by Clint
Cunningham, who is no stranger to South African audiences. After 15 years of “slogging
the pubs and clubs all over South Africa”, Clint has more recently been
enjoying great success with his various shows in top theatres, but his
Creedence tribute is what he’s best known for.
With well over 550 shows under their belts,
the band have performed at the Grahamstown Arts Festival, various Barnyard
Theatres around the country, The Showcase Theatre North Riding, The Performer
Theatre Pretoria, Richard Loring's Sound Stage, and many high profile corporate
events, from the Sun City Superbowl to Monte Casino. The group has entertained
patrons in Maputo, the Aardklop Music Festival in Potchefstroom, KKNK in
Oudtshoorn, InniBos in Nelspruit and performed to over 3,500 people at the
Celebration Centre in Harare, Zimbabwe.
Some 40 years after the original Creedence
Clearwater Revival brought their unique brand of music to the world, Clint
& Co are keeping the torch burning.
