SUGAR MAN – A TRIBUTE TO RODRIGUEZ


Rhumbelow Theatre will present Sugar Man, a Tribute to Rodrigues performed by Barry Thomson & The Reals.

Barry Thomson and The Reals feature Barry on lead and acoustic guitars and vocals, Musical Director Dawn Selby on keyboards, percussion and vocals, Mali Sewell on drums and vocals, and Robz Millar on bass guitar.

Shows take place on June 7 at 19h30 and June 8 at 14h00. The venue opens 90 minutes before show.

Who would know that an unknown album from an unknown artist in 1970 would become a huge phenomenon in South Africa? Rodriguez himself, as well as most other Americans was never aware of his huge success. His music was lost in the US but, by a strange coincidence became a cult hit in South Africa and a symbol of rebellion for many of his fans.

Back by public demand, our ever-popular Sugar Man pays tribute to the iconic Sixto Rodriguez. The show features all his well-remembered songs such as I Wonder, Establishment Blues and Sugar Man among others.

A show not to be missed!
