The effervescent guitar maestro, Seb
Goldswain is currently on tour around KZN until October 1. 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.
His tour, sponsored by Marshall Music
Hillcrest, kicks off on September 27 with a guitar clinic at COPA in Durban,
entry is free and all are welcome. He moves on to the Alliance Française in
Morningside the next day. On September 29, he heads up to Pietermaritzburg
where he takes to the stage at The Dive situated at the Hexagon Theatre on
campus. He returns back to Durban, this time entertaining the crowds at the
Westville Theatre Club on September 30. His final gig takes him to Rocky Ridge in
Ramsgate for an afternoon show on October 1.
