ROAD TO GRACELAND AT TINA’S


(Gareth Gale, Rob Warren & Garth Warren)

The Black Lapels - Rob Warren, Garth Warren and Gareth Gale – will present Road to Graceland, their tribute to Paul Simon, at Tina’s Hotel in Kloof tomorrow (December 4, 2020).

The Black Lapels recently performed their excellent tribute to Creedence Clearwater Survival – Fortunate Son – at Rhumbelow in Durban. One of Durban’s iconic staples in the world of live entertainment Black Lapels have, since their run-away success tribute shows, Johnny Cash, Memphis 55 and most recently their Creedence Clearwater Revival production, have decided to dedicated the balance of the 2020 Rhumbelow season to performing a production that they firmly believe will close out a remarkably good year in keeping the retrospective candle burning ever so bright.

Road to Graceland is their most challenging task to date and will be a “stripped down” production based on Paul Simons’ road to Graceland.

Rob and Garth Warren together with the sensational “stick man” Gareth Gale have decided to step away from their traditional use of electric content and instead, stripped their rock n roll spurs out for a more purist acoustic singer songwriter approach.

For the Paul Simon fans out there, a set list with those “favourites” awaits from Graceland to You can call me Al not excluding a string of other all timers like Homeless, The Boxer, Gumboots, Diamonds on the sole … and then the brilliance of Mother and Child Reunion, each beautifully polished and delicately delivered.

Join this professional trio for a close up and very personal performance.

Road to Graceland has one performance on Friday at 19h30.
