WILLY MASON FOR DURBAN



International recording and touring artist Willy Mason will appear in Durban for the first time on August 23 at Live The Venue. Mason will be billed with Durban's very own acoustic music phenomenon, The Hinds Brothers.

American Songwriter said: “Mason’s voice is gorgeous, his lyrics evocative and his arrangements adventurous – it’s a complete package that is as airtight as it is simple, as gorgeous as it rugged, the sort of record that burrows deep into your brain and doesn’t let go.”

Willy Mason’s critically acclaimed new album Carry On is out now on Communion Records: “Willy Mason is one of the greatest songwriters of our generation. In the UK his music is held up with the legends, and has inspired many people I know. Moving to the US this year and establishing Communion further in North America, I have been stunned by how little familiarity there is with Willy’s music, I am stunned by how few people have been touched by his songs. And this emotion, one of injustice, is exactly why I started Communion with my friends and partners in the UK in the first place...Willy Mason sings songs to your soul, and it feels good.”

Willy Mason and The Hinds Brothers will perform on August 23 at LIVE THE VENUE, Stamford Hill Road. Doors open at 20h00. Entry R100pp (tickets at the door).
