(Gareth Gale & Guy Buttery)
Multiple award-winning
guitar virtuoso, Guy Buttery returns to his hometown of Durban for a unique
one-off performance at The Barnyard Theatre at Gateway on August 11. At the age
of 30, he has achieved what most musicians accomplish in a lifetime. For his
upcoming national tour, Guy Buttery arrives with a brand new show featuring
drummer/percussionists extraordinaire, Gareth Gale.
With sell-out
performances in the US, UK, Australia, Brazil, France, Italy and all over
Southern Africa, Guy Buttery is Africa’s biggest acoustic music export. With
two South African Music Awards under his belt (in 2010 for his album Fox Hill Lane and again in 2014 for Live in KwaZulu) and five Standard Bank
Ovation Awards, Guy is no stranger to the South African music industry. He has
performed his works with KZN Philharmonic Orchestra and an endless list of
several of South Africa’s greats. His recent tour of SA was voted Top Live Show
of the Year by The Cape Times.
Gareth Gale’s
extraordinary work as one of South Africa’s leading percussionists has taken
him to premier arts destinations around the world. From the House of Blues in
Los Angeles and the Living Room in New York, to the famed Troubadour in London
and Le Zebra in Paris, to name a few. He has supported artists such as Snoop
Dogg, Pharrell, Donovan Frankenreiter and Seether. In 2010, Gareth played at
the Rio Loco Festival in France alongside many South African legends such as
Hugh Masekela, Johnny Clegg and Freshlyground. He draws inspiration from the
African and Indian rhythms that radiate out of his home city of Durban and is
conscious of reflecting these whenever he plays.
This exciting duo
is fresh from their run at the National Arts Festival in Grahamstown where they
received a Standard Bank Silver Ovation Award for Best Music Production. Expect
high dynamics, deep grooves, delicate African inflections and mind-bending
guitar/drum chemistry of a new order.
Tickets R120 pp and seating will be as for normal shows, with no
