BEHIND THE NOISE



(Jason Andrew, Barry Thomson & Marion Loudon)

Ever noticed how often a great song gets drowned out by the noise that comes from over-production in a studio? 

Join Durbanites Barry Thomson, Jason Andrew and Marion Loudon at Rhumbelow Theatre this coming weekend as they get back to the root of what makes a great song and give the melody and lyrics space to shine. Performing some classic tunes, this team have enjoyed finding the essence of some truly classic songs with vocals and just acoustic instruments, singing and playing songs you had forgotten you knew.

Get ready as this dynamic trio deliver superb renditions of some of your favourite tunes, including hits from George Ezra, Bonnie Raitt, Eurhythmics, Alison Moyet as well as latest hits from Mumford and Sons , Avicii, Pharell Williams and Avril Lavigne.

This team was last seen together in the Woodstock Tribute show as well as the Christmas party show Christmas Rocks. The charismatic guitar maestro Thomson, who is no stranger to KZN audiences, will be showing just what he can do alongside seasoned bass man Jason Andrew and singer Marion Loudon.

It’s a programme of well-known hits, so sit back and expect to hear refreshing takes from all your favourite bands from Swedish House Mafia, Maroon 5, John Mayer and Katy Perry, as Thomson, Loudon and Andrew have plenty of laughs and leg-pulling, bouncing off each other’s talents and energies for a wonderful musical buffet.

Join us at the Rhumbelow Theatre for a show packed full of heartfelt performances on guitars, with a few other musical surprises, soulful harmonies and stunning live musicianship.

Performances take place on April 17 and 18 at 20h00 and on April 19 at 13h30 and 18h30. The venue opens 90 minutes before show for picnic dinner. Tickets R120 (R100 pensioners and tables of eight or more).
