Folk musos play Bluestockings

MUSOS, Jaspar Lepak and Rowan Stuart team up for a musical evening at Bluestockings in Kloof on Friday 25 April at 7pm.

American/folk songstress Jaspar Lepak returns to the country for the first time in three years, and with only three shows lined up on her brief visit to Durban, this is a rare chance to catch Jaspar Lepak in action, as she joins long-time friend and musical collaborator, Rowan Stuart, in concert.

While living in Durban from 2009 to 2011 with husband and accordion-player Kale Lepak, Seattle-based Jaspar Lepak won over a passionate and loyal fan base with her bell-like voice and introspective storytelling, and the kind of Americana, lullaby ghost of a voice that listeners search for in roots music. She performed on some of KZN’s premier stages and recorded her sixth studio album, ‘Forgiving Wind’ on Durban soil. Her brand new, 2014 album Wide World, will be on sale at the show.

Armed with only an acoustic guitar and a loop pedal, Rowan Stuart, paints a sonic landscape of acoustic alternative music, incorporating elements of folk, pop and world music, into a sound that is both deep and authentic. He is no stranger to Durban audiences, and while he is presently wrapping up a new acoustic album, entitled, Hidden Doors, he has recently been seen collaborating with successful acts such as Just Jinjer, Nibs van der Spuy and Gangs of Ballet.

This is guaranteed to be an unforgettable evening, with both artists eager to reunite and share new stories and new music. Book now by calling Narene on 083 659 3628 (ask for directions if this is your first time to the venue). Entrance is R100 each. A full meal is available for R70 by pre-order only. Drinks will be available for purchase on the evening.
