(GoodLuck)
After a momentous 2014 series, SAMA-nominated electro-swing
act GoodLuck and award winning multi-instrumentalist, Jeremy Loops, will
perform at the penultimate Old Mutual Music at the Lake concert at the Durban
Botanic Gardens, on November 22, joined by The Kiffness and Rubber Duc.
This power-packed line-up is sure to rev up the picturesque
gardens during the latest instalment of the popular picnic concerts at this
important biodiversity landmark.
GoodLuck’s album Creatures
of the Night was nominated for Best Pop Album and Best Duo or Group at the
2014 South African Music Awards, coming hot on the heels of the three SAMA nods
earned by their self-titled debut album. This industry recognition is testament
to the quality of this explosive electronic dance music outfit that has taken
South Africa – and Europe – by storm since making their barnstorming debut in
2011, chalking up several number one hits along the way.
Calling himself a modern folk artist, influenced by Woody
Guthrie and Bob Dylan, alt-folk sensation Jeremy Loops is truly a one-of-a-kind
performer, using a loop pedal to layer up a variety of instruments and sounds –
including guitars, harmonicas, beatboxing and singing – to create a truly
unique and eclectic style that mashes up jazz, rock, hip-hop and reggae.
Fellow Capetonians The Kiffness are fast becoming one of
South Africa’s favourite live electronic acts. David Scott and Mvelo “Black
Norris” Shandu are known for their exciting live show that mixes uninhibited
dancing, skilled live instrumentation and deep, grooving house beats.
Expect a good time from the fun, quirky young musicians
behind Rubber Duc – a tremendously talented trio made up of Brendan Campbell,
Sheldon Sham and Nick Jordaan. With original material and covers poking fun at
the world around us, their live performances are always a hoot!
Says Bandile Mngoma, Old Mutual’s sponsorship manager: “Once
again we have assembled some of the country’s most sensational young musicians
to entertain the people of eThekwini. They are all progressive, dynamic and
exciting in their musical approach – perfectly epitomising Old Mutual’s quest
to enable positive futures and empower people to think out of the box and do
great things.”
The Old Mutual Music at the Lake concert on November 22 is
the latest in a series of live events at KwaZulu-Natal’s premium outdoor music
venue. Since the chilled-out afternoon picnic concerts began, the Durban
