The next programme Music in The Hills (MiTH) will be headed by Heather Waters.
Arguably the KZN Midlands’ best-loved music venue, MiTH is an opportunity for beginners, professionals, and passionate music fans to share the joy of music at The Knoll Historic Guest Farm.
7pm: Josh Strydom
Josh Strydom is a local acoustic guitarist from Howick who
has played with many local bands, including Now a Daze, and singers, like Kaiti
Faul. He has been involved in the music scene for years and has even played at
White Mountain Music Festival. He will be playing some of his favourite songs,
and although not a professional musician, he plays for the love of it and to
share the fun with as much energy as possible. There are sure to be some
recognisable favourites, and perhaps one or two that you may not know.
8pm: Leigh Goddard
Leigh Goddard is a songwriter across multiple genres of
music from cinematic to hip hop. After spending years working behind the scenes
on events, and as an agent for bands nationally, she picked up the guitar for
herself at the age of 25 and began her writing journey. Having had the
privilege of being surrounded and inspired by some of the country's greatest
songwriters and performers of the last three decades. The daughter of iconic
drummer, Don Robertson (The Square Set, and Gene Rockwell and The Falcons), and
sister to Michael Goddard (Perez and Silent Generator), it becomes apparent
through her song-writing that rhythm is hereditary, and observation is a great
teacher. Goddard describes her music as “country rap cabaret”. She is joined by
lifetime friend and mentor, Roly Struckmeyer, on bass.
9pm: Heather Waters
Touring folk-rock artist Heather Waters, is releasing her
latest uplifting single, Slow Drive,
coinciding with the multi-country Slow Drive Tour happening now!
Road-tripping is something of a lifestyle for Waters. Since the beginning of her career, she has not stood still – she has performed her folk-rock guitar tunes in villages, towns, and cities from Cape Town to Corsica!
For more than a decade, Waters has been touring, writing, and creating a definite style and sound to her work. Her songs and performances burn with energy! Alone, or with a band, Waters' expressive guitar rhythms, honest lyrics, and passionate energy draw you into her performances.
