(Seb
Goldswain)
Guitar player, Seb Goldswain will include
the Hexagon Theatre in Pietermaritzburg as part of his mini tour around KZN
this Spring.
His jazzy, rock sound blended in with a bit
of acoustic finger-picking ensures that his original solo acoustic performances
are always highly energetic and a gig to remember. Having had a relatively
quiet year as far as performing and artistic output goes, and after walking
down the aisle; the guitar virtuoso has jumped into the spring and heritage
season working on material for his next solo-acoustic album as well as working
on loads of new and exciting material for his live shows that he is eager to
introduce to the world.
“I had the immense God-given honour of
marrying my best friend Brittany back in May, and since everyone in my life at
the time was frantically consumed with the selection of bunting, matching
navy-blue fabric, flower arrangements and macaroons, I figured it was probably
wise not to book shows for a while. But now, I am excited to be announcing my
tour, not only around select spots in KZN, but also to Cape Town and
Johannesburg in the latter part of year.”
On the back of his debut album Pictures of a Thousand Words, the rising
star has taken a bold step towards establishing himself as a new breed of
original voices in South Africa. Encompassing influences from across a wide
range of genres and cultures, his first album is stylistically diverse, while
carrying a sound throughout that is both unique to him and a distinct sound of
his home province.
The Durban-based talent is also proficient
in bluegrass, blues, funk, heavy rock, country and Jazz styles, and encompasses
these styles, as well as a wide range of artistic influences, into his original
electric material.
Seb Goldswain performs at The Dive, Hexagon
Theatre, on the UKZN Pietermaritzburg campus on September 29 at 19h00 for 19h30.
