(Just
Jinger)
Just Jinjer, one of South Africa’s proudest
exports and widely celebrated groups, headline the second Old Mutual Music at
the Lake concert of 2014 at the Durban Botanic Gardens on March 16. Acoustic
duo, The Kickstands, are the support act.
Just Jinjer’s slick performance has
garnered fans locally and globally. They have shared the stage with big-ticket
acts such as Corinne Bailey Rae, Ludacris and Angelique Kidjo. Front-man, Ard
Matthews, wowed the crowds when he performed at the scenic location in 2013 and
this year, he’s back with the sought-after band.
“I’m so excited about performing at the
gardens again. We have some great new material and of course all the
favourites,” said Matthews. “I’m from Durban, so I’m very excited to perform at
one of my favourite venues.”
The band are currently recording their 9th
studio album and keen to perform live.
A kaleidoscope of colour awaits visitors as
the Durban Botanic Gardens puts on a show of another kind – all the plants
showing off their summer best.
“We are happy that Just Jinjer could take
time off of their hectic schedule to perform at the Old Mutual Music at the
Lake,” said Bandile Mngoma, sponsorship manager at Old Mutual. “It is also a
pleasure that while Durban’s sub-tropical climate means we will still enjoy
much of the summer fauna in March, it is the last chance to enjoy the season’s
highlights so we encourage music lovers not to miss this one.”
Accompanying Just Jinjer is the Durban-born
and acoustic duo, The Kickstands. The band’s achievements include playing on
large stages such as Splashy Fen, Durban Day and the FIFA World Cup. This
dynamic, versatile and zealous duo has managed to merge impressive musicianship
with accessible songwriting and melody that’s been met with mammoth popularity.
