20h15 – Tempest Union
Tempest Union returns to kick off MiTH for 2026. Hailing
from Hillcrest and made up of former members of Stormy Monday and the James
Edward Project – all MiTH veterans – the band blends original material with
cross-genre covers.
Featuring Sylvia Tempest on vocals and keys, William Kruger
on drums, Rogan Ward on bass and mandolin, and Hylton Blignaut on vocals and
guitar, Tempest Union is known for soulful performances and tight
instrumentation. They are MiTH crowd favourite and a perfect start to this
year’s MiTH.
19h30 – Zendoni
Zendoni is a soulful vocalist, internationally acclaimed
poet, and radio personality. She is best known for her powerful live
performances and for sharing stages with artists of similar creative energy.
Her musical influences include Freshly Ground, Nomfundo Xaluva and Oliver
Mtukudzi, resulting in a rich blend of poetry and music.
For this MiTH experience, she is accompanied by Christopher
Shuku – a South African pianist, composer and music educator active since 2013,
committed to teaching music theory and developing expressive performance.
19h00 – Ross Williams
Hailing from Howick, Ross Williams draws inspiration from
folk, country, indie and alternative music. He enjoys playing guitar, singing,
and sharing short cover clips on social media. While music competes with other
commitments, it remains a vital creative outlet, and Ross continues to
challenge himself and grow whenever the opportunity arises.
