Rhumbelow Theatre presents Digby and the Lullaby
Rouchelle Hubsch and Darren Digby Peens will launch their new indie folk album at the Rhumbelow Theatre.
SOUTH African indie folk duo Digby and the Lullaby are heading to Durban’s Rhumbelow Theatre to launch their stirring debut album, The Somewhere Wind on 7, 8 and 9 November.
With Rouchelle Hubsch on vocals and piano, and Darren Digby Peens on backing vocals and guitar, Digby and the Lullaby have been described as a match made in heaven. They’ve cast their indie-folk spell on audiences from Cape Town to New York with their quiet confessions and secret yearnings that pour like honey from their lips.
Their debut album The Somewhere Wind is an independently funded labour of love that took two years to make. Produced by New York producer Kieran Kelly, the album features world renowned musicians Rob Calder on bass and Mason Ingram on drums, delicate string arrangements, and South Africa’s own Farryl Purkiss on backing vocals on the track Sweet Starry Night.
“We wanted to make good art,” says Peens. “We wanted to create something that was beautiful but at the same time, real and unprocessed,” Hubsch adds.
If the album is a reflection of their journey, Digby and the Lullaby take it one step further in their show, pausing between songs to share their own stories and anecdotes with people in the audience.
Tickets are R100, and can be booked through Computicket. The venue will open 90 minutes before the show begins to give patrons time to enjoy a picnic dinner. Braais will be available should you wish to cook some meat. Bar Available and no alcohol may not be brought on to the premises.
Book at Computicket or phone or email Roland for bookings, 031 205 7602, 082 499 8636 or roland@stansell.za.net www.rhumbelow.za.net
