(Too
Bit Mac & Dave Starke)
Rhumbelow Theatre will present A Tribute to James Taylor and Carole King
at the Allan Wilson Shellhole in Pietermaritzburg on September 9. This is a
slightly theatrical, mostly musical tribute to two of the foremost singer/songwriters
of the 1960s, James Taylor and Carole King, will be performed by Dave Starke
and Too Bit Mac.
Take the butter-like voice of James Taylor
that made famous songs like Carolina on
My Mind, You Can Close Your Eyes, Sweet Baby James, Fire and Rain and Never Die Young and contrast it with the
soulful, rich voice of Carole King in songs like So Far Away, Natural Woman, You’ve got a Friend and Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow. The
result is a mellow, emotional journey through the lives of these two friends
and lovers, their music and their madness. The show promises to be a powerful examination
of these two timeless singers.
Dave Starke is a Cape Town-born guitarist
and singer. Former frontman for acoustic rock band, Soulfire, he is now a
full-time solo performer and composer. He appeared on the first season of The Voice South Africa and in addition
to performing at theatres and weddings, he composes music for film and
television.
Too Bit Mac is a South African-born singer
who was educated in the USA. On her return to South Africa, she performed in High School Music South Africa. She is
currently the vocalist in KZN corporate show band Brandy Bossa Nova.
