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 in Hilton.
19h00: Oscar Rorvik
A schooled keyboard player, Oscar from Deep
Heat has evolved into a guitar-playing singer-songwriter on the KZN scene,
graduating from pubs and clubs to White Mountain last year and more recently,
Splashy Fen.
Having shared the stage with the likes of
good friends Rowan Stuart, Steve Fataar, Paul Arthur and Brian Finch, amongst
others, Oscar performs with his own authentic brand of humour and passion,
singing warm inspiring songs of the heart, truth, and finding one`s way in
life. He mixes his original compositions with classic popular hits from Bob
Dylan to the Bee Gees, Van Morrison, and more.
With his unique finger-plucking style, and
strong voice, it is always a pleasure to have him onstage, projecting his
energy and "Deep Heat" to the audience, and adding his percussion and
beats behind others.
20h00: Rhiannon Reid
Well-known to MiTH from performing with the
Reid Family Band, Rhiannon Reid is a local musician, and now a published
author. Previously a student of Kech Sanchez, and a singer in the Howick High
School band, she has honed her skills on guitar and vocals over the years. For
this event she will be accompanied by her dad, Vince, who has had an interest
in music from a young age and is mainly self-taught. He plays keyboard, guitar,
and recently, tin whistle.
21h00: TChristian
Pietermaritzburg-born TChristian, formally
known as Thanduxolo Christian, had a goal to reach the highest level of
education. During his years of education, TChristian focused on music and vocal
training. He majored in drumming, getting the opportunity to play for various
artists around the world, like Simphiwe Dana, Joyous Celebration, Themba
Mkwena, Hlengiwe Mhlaba, and Ayanda Ntanzi to name a few.
In 2014, TChristian made the transition to
performing at various eateries; an environment where he feels music is best
appreciated. He is also the proud owner of his own brand, which supplies
entertainment for family events, weddings, parties, or any event that might be
enhanced by live music to help the soul recharge.
TChristian believes that the skill of being
a one-man-band is the most appealing musical enterprise known to man. He brings
that alive and creates amazing musical performances, drawing influences from
jazz, soul, Afro-beat, fusion music, RnB, and many more. With one album
released, and four singles, he has manufactured a sound that delights the ears
– the true experience of a live sound with audio technicality.
