(Rusty
Red)
Crossroads
– A tribute
to Eric Clapton & Friends, is a Rusty Red Production coming to the Rhumbelow
Theatre at the Allan Wilson Shellhole in Pietermaritzburg this weekend.
Durban ‘Bluesman’ Rusty Red is back with
his tribute to Eric Clapton and friends. Accompanied by his countrymen, Chris Melling
on drums and lefty Skippy Kubheka on bass guitar, the trio offer to “meet you
at the Crossroads and take you 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.
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 own Blues
craftsmen will showcase favourites in this stellar performance.
The show 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.
