(Guy
Buttery)
Kicking off 2019 with concerts throughout
the USA, Brazil, Europe and an extensive tour of South Africa, multi-award
winning artist Guy Buttery returns home for a one off solo concert on the South
Coast of KwaZulu-Natal in Pennington on October 11, 2019.
After numerous recent collaborations with
The Odeion String Quartet, The Eastern Cape Philharmonic Orchestra, The Guy
Buttery Trio and extensive touring of his World Music duo with Indian sitar
player, Kanada Narahari, Buttery returns with for what he is known best for -
the solo concert. This will be his first concert on the South Coast of KZN in
many years.
Last year Buttery received the highest
accolade for a musician in South Africa and was awarded the Standard Bank Young
Artist Award. In almost four decades of honouring artists throughout the
country, this was the first time since its inception that the award was
presented to a musician outside of the classical music realm.
His debut album in 2002, When I Grow Up... was nominated for Best
Instrumental and Best Newcomer at the South African Music Awards (SAMA’s)
making him the youngest nominee in the history of the event. He then went on to
win a SAMA in 2010, for his album Fox
Hill Lane and again in 2014, for his first live concert recording, Live in KwaZulu. He has also received
other major National accolades including The Ovation Award in 2010, 2012 and again
2014 for his performances at the National Arts Festival.
Buttery was then invited to perform his
works with the 52-piece KZN Philharmonic Orchestra, as well as with the Eastern
Cape Philharmonic and had his solo performances voted the “Top Live Show” by
The Cape Times. The media cited him “as one of South Africa’s finest exponents
of the acoustic guitar.”
Expect high dynamics, ethereal
fingerpicking, delicate African inflections and mind-bending guitar playing of
an entirely new order.
The concert takes place on October 11,
2019, at Botha House, 1 Don Knight Avenue in Pennington. Dining from 18h00,
music from 19h00. Entrance R175 – booked through 081 363 3593.
