Catch the electrifying duo live in Kloof
The two artists have toured France and the US together, but seldom appeared in concert in South Africa.
IN association with Concerts SA, renowned guitar virtuoso, Guy Buttery returns to KZN with a brand-new show. For the very first time in KZN, Guy will be bringing his Standard Bank Ovation Award-winning collaboration with drummer/percussionist extraordinaire, Gareth Gale, with concerts in Durban, Kloof and Salt Rock.
At the age of 30, Guy has achieved what most musicians only accomplish in a lifetime. With sell-out performances in the US, the UK, Australia, Brazil, France, Italy and all over Southern Africa, Guy Buttery is Africa’s biggest acoustic music export.
Guy has two South African Music Awards (SAMAs) under his belt and four Standard Bank Ovation Awards. Buttery has performed his works with the KZN Philharmonic Orchestra and an endless list of several of South Africa’s greats. His recent tour of SA was voted Top Live Show of the Year by The Cape Times.
In 2010, Gareth played at the Rio Loco Festival in France alongside many South African legends such as Hugh Masekela, Johnny Clegg and Freshlyground. He draws inspiration from the African and Indian rhythms that radiate out of his home city, Durban, and is conscious of reflecting these whenever he plays.
This electrifying duo has toured France and the US together, but seldom appeared in concert in South Africa. After receiving yet another Standard Bank Ovation Award for Best Live Performance at last year’s National Arts Festival, Guy and Gareth have continued to push the envelope of what a simple duo is capable of. Expect high dynamics, deep grooves, delicate African inflections and mind-bending guitar/drum chemistry of a new order.
