(Seb
Goldswain)
The Centre for Jazz and Popular Music will welcome
back Seb Goldswain on April 17 2018.
Goldswain is a South African guitarist,
composer and performing artist best known for his virtuoso guitar playing and
high-energy stage presence. Armed with either an acoustic guitar or an electric
guitar and a Marshall stack, Goldswain has the rare ability of wowing and
entertaining crowds with nothing but his original compositions, energetic
performances and dazzling guitar playing. With influences like Tommy Emmanuel,
Frank Zappa, and Steve Morse (all world-class guitarists/composers) he
expresses the rare talent of being able to entertain a pop crowd, as well as
Jazz, Rock, Blues and Heavy Metal crowds, all with his original music and
masterful guitar playing.
With the arrival of his debut album Pictures of a Thousand Words, Goldswain
has now taken a bold step towards establishing himself as one of the new breed
of original voices in South African music. Encompassing influences from across
a wide range of genres and cultures, the album is stylistically diverse, while
carrying a sound throughout that is both uniquely his own, and carrying a
distinct KwaZulu-Natal flavour.
Goldswain has performed internationally in
countries like Austria, Greece, the UK and the United States, and has performed
his original music at many of South Africa’s top music festivals including
Splashy Fen, White Mountain Festival, The Grahamstown National Arts Festival,
Standard Bank Joy of Jazz Festival, The UNISA International Jazz Festival, The
UKZN Youth Jazz Festival and the Durban International Blues Festival. He has
performed alongside International star George Ezra, as well as many of South
Africa’s most highly recognised artists including Ard Matthews, Matthew Mole,
Beatenberg, Albert Frost, Dan Patlansky, Lloyd Cele, Chris Chameleon, Natalie
Rungan, Kahn Morbee from The Parlotones, The KZN Philharmonic Orchestra, The
Tananas, The UKZN Jazz Legacy ensemble, Madala Kunene, Derek Gripper, Nibs Van
Der Spuy, Guy Buttery and Andrew Young among others.
