World-celebrated guitar virtuoso Guy Buttery will appear in
Durban and Kloof in support of his much-anticipated 2016 album launch tour
which also see him performing across South Africa collaborating with various
guest artists at each concert. Guy will be joined by the legendary South
African stalwart, Nibs van der Spuy and drummer extraordinaire Gareth
Gale.
In support of his 6th studio album, simply
entitled Guy Buttery, he returns with
a brand new approach to South African musical landscapes - seamlessly merging
traditional musical genres with ambient and groove driven psychedelia.
Buttery has long been revered as one of the countries
greatest performers and fans will be delighted by the wide range of venues
across Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal and the Western Cape, with several more to be
confirmed. He will be inviting numerous featured guests from the album to join
him in concert, and for the very first time, with a full band.
The album Guy Buttery
is almost two years in the making and sees him collaborating with some of the
country’s finest musicians, including Vusi Mahlasela, Dan Patlansky, Nibs Van
Der Spuy, Shane Cooper, Derek Gripper and Chris Letcher – as well as singer
Piers Faccini, who is based in France, and one of Buttery’s lifelong musical
heroes, multi-Grammy Award winner and founder of Windham Hill Records, Will
Ackerman.
A multi-award winning musician and one of the finest
acoustic guitarists in the world today, Buttery continues to bring his deep
sense of musical understanding into his compositions – his songs are delicate,
yet fierce, profoundly deliberate, yet still spontaneous and playful. He is
truly one of the country’s finest fingerstyle guitarists and one of South
Africa’s most talented musical exports.
Guy Buttery is available on iTunes, Amazon, Deezer and
