MiTH takes place every second Wednesday at The Knoll Historic Guest Farm, Knoll Drive, Hilton.
Arguably the KZN Midlands’ best-loved music venue, Music in The Hills (MiTH) is an opportunity for beginners, professionals, and passionate music fans to share the joy of music. The next programme takes place on February 23, 2022.
21h00: The Lion, The Bear and The Panther
Formerly known as AVADE, the three members
– Ross, Brendon and Ruben, now perform under the moniker The Lion, The Bear
& The Panther. With the popularity and reasonable success of Ross and
Ruben’s acoustic duo The Lion & The Bear, it made sense to add
Brendon (aka The Panther) to the fray for certain shows. AVADE is just a name,
as is The Lion, The Bear & The Panther. The energy, the passion, the
music, the three humans involved… are the same. Energy, passion, power and joy.
That was AVADE, and THIS is The Lion, The Bear & The Panther.
Seriously – you don’t want to miss this!
20h00: Erin Fourie
Erin Fourie has been performing on the
Midlands music circuit for almost 20 years and is still going strong. While her
vocals have been likened to Joan Baez, her influences include a range from
Doris Day to Pearl Jam and beyond. In the past she performed in numerous
cabaret shows at the Hexagon Dive, was a top 10 Idols contestant and even
managed to snag a role in The Sound of Music at the Durban Playhouse.
More recently she has collaborated with several local musicians on various
projects including, currently, with Kath McClelland in their show Our
Favourite Things.
19h00: Josh Strydom
Josh Strydom is a local acoustic guitarist
hailing from the hamlet of Howick. He has played with many local artists such
as the band Now a Daze and vocalist Kaiti Faul played at White Mountain music
festival and has been involved with the music scene for years. He plays regularly
at venues in Howick and performs for the love and enjoyment of music. He’ll be
joining us on the MiTH stage to play some of his favourite songs and there are
sure to be some recognizable favourites as well as one or two you may not know.
Josh’s influences include Classic Rock, folk and folk punk, as well as other
local musicians.
