Brad de Klerk and his family on the loss of his grandfather
20h00: What We Are
Midlands-based band, What We Are, brings
you a boasting blend of sassy soul, roots rhythm, acoustic melodies with a
bright streak of lyrical activism. Their first appearance on stage together was
in northern Botswana in mid-2013, and they have since performed extensively in
Southern Africa, and at a handful of venues in Northern Europe.
Creating songs that reflect the current
times, What We Are believe in the potency of musical medicine, allowing their
audience to revisit what makes music so powerful: emotion, passion and its
ability to unite the people. They will be joined at MiTH by Quinton Song on
bass.
21h00: Seb Goldswain
Seb is a fingerstyle virtuoso, composer,
and performer from Durban, South Africa. He has a degree in jazz and popular music,
and is known for his intricate and energetic style of playing, often leading
listeners to believe there must be multiple guitars weaving the rich sonic
tapestries they are hearing.
Goldswain’s inspirational live shows are a
must-see, and have led him to open for international pop-star George Ezra, and
many of South Africa’s great artists, including Chris Chameleon, Sipho Hotstix
Mabuse, Arno Carstens, Ard Matthews, and Dan Patlansky. His playing has led him
to be recognised as a brand ambassador for bespoke instrument companies,
including Guitar Gallery and AER Amplifiers.
Entrance Fee: R50 - Cash or Zapper at the Door
