(Rusty Red)
Durban
‘Bluesman’ Rusty Red is set to headline at the Allan Wilson Shellhole in
Pietermaritzburg on May 28 with his debut offering, ‘Crossroads - A tribute to Eric Clapton and Friends. Accompanied by
his countrymen, Chris Melling on drums and lefty Skippy Kubheka on bass guitar,
the trio will meet audiences at the Crossroads and take them on a journey
through a soundtrack driven by blues icons: Eric Clapton, John Mayer, Muddy
Waters, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Jimi Hendrix and more.
The show
will highlight Eric Clapton’s greatest hits from his early days in Cream, The
Yardbirds and as a solo artist, a career that has spanned more than four
decades and has earned him a triple induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of
Fame.
Eric
Clapton drew inspiration from BB King, Jimi Hendrix, Muddy Waters among other
Blues legends, and in turn Clapton inspired modern Blues musicians including
the likes of John Mayer. His influence and collaborations have earned him 18
Grammy Awards, of which our very own Blues craftsmen will showcase your
favourites in this stellar performance.
The
programme will include the latest and the greatest hits such as Before you accuse me, Lay down Sally,
Crossroads, Change The World, Pride and Joy, Little Wing, Wonderful tonight,
Slow Dancing in a burning room and many more.
