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 at The Knoll Historic Guest Farm, Knoll Drive, Hilton.
MiTH takes place every second Wednesday and the next programme will take place on October 19, 2022.
Doors open at 18h00 and the music will kick off at 19h00. Bring your own booze. Food and soft drinks are available.
PERFORMERS:
19h00: Cherry Pickers
Andrew and Arum have been friends for
years, and have been hoping to play together at MiTH for a good many of those.
Andrew is a musician, songwriter, and
guitar teacher. He has released some of his music, selling albums online. Arum
is an actress, dancer, comedienne, theatre practitioner, teacher, mother, and
friend. If the night goes well, she will be a singer, too.
They say they love to play indie folk
music, but are completely eclectic, cherry-picking songs from many genres.
20h00: Kevin Gurney
Kevin is a guitarist and singer from Eston
who has been playing for several years. He plays a range of acoustic folk, and
blues songs including some originals. His influences include legends such as
Eric Clapton, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Bob Marley, and Bob Dylan, as well
as current artists like Benjamin Tod, Tyler Childers, The Hill Country Devil,
and Mumford and Sons.
21h00: James Edward
James has been in the music industry for
the greater part of 20 years, this being his first solo project. Eyes of
Sunglasses, the first single off his debut EP, recently hit number 1 on the
SA Top 40 on MixFM and is playlisted on East Coast Radio. He has written and
performed as James Robertson as a member of Spoonfeedas, a multi-charting SA
group achieving a number 1 on 5fm, as well as other charting singles in the Top
10 and Top 20. He then went on to form Cubic Inch and again enjoyed radio
popularity, opening for Bryan Adams on his tour to SA. He then formed Serrotone
with Peter Guthrie and Billy Kruger, and they have performed alongside Freshly
Ground, Prime Circle, and Wonderboom, to name a few.
Edward will be joined at MiTH by Billy
Kruger, arguably Durban’s finest drummer. With a wealth of experience both
locally and internationally, one of the highlights of Kruger’s career was
sharing the stage with Delirious in Holland.
Jared Turnham, a multi-instrumentalist,
will be joining them on stage on bass guitar.
