The Black Lapels, one of Durban’s iconic staples in the
world of live entertainment have, since their runaway success tribute shows, Johnny Cash, Memphis 55 and most
recently their Creedence Clearwater Revival production, have decided to
dedicated the balance of the 2016 Rhumbelow Theatre season to performing a
production that they firmly believe will close out a remarkably good year in
keeping the retrospective candle burning ever so bright.
The show is their most challenging task to date and will be
a stripped down production based on Paul Simons road to Graceland.
Rob and Garth Warren together with drummer Gareth Gale have
decided to step away from their traditional use of electric content and stripped
their rock n roll spurs out for a more purist acoustic singer songwriter
approach.
For Paul Simon fans, a set list with those favourites awaits
from Graceland to You can call me Al not excluding a
string of other alltimers like Homeless,
The Boxer, Gumboots, Diamonds on the Sole and then the brilliance of Mother and Child Reunion.
The Paul Simon Road to
Graceland runs at Rhumbelow Theatre from November 11 to 20 over two
weekends with performances on Fridays and Saturdays at 20h00 and Sundays at
14h00 and 18h30. The venue opens 90
minutes before show for picnic dinner.
Tickets R140 (R120

food picnic baskets. Braais will be available. There is limited secure parking
