Rowan Stuart performs at The Barnyard Theatre, Gateway

In association with Concerts SA, Durban’s soul folk singer-songwriter-guitarist Rowan Stuart performs at the Barnyard Theatre at Gateway on Monday August 22 at 7.30pm.

Following his Winter Tour across South Africa, Rowan returns to his home town, and will be joined by a full live band comprising Andy Turrell on bass guitar, Cheryl Engel (Connecting Stars) on backing vocals and percussion, and Jude Kenrick (Easy Freak) on drums.

The event also celebrates the launch of Rowan’s latest single “Silver Balloon”, which will be released this month.

Rowan has created an inimitable brand of Soul Folk music, with pop and world influences. Recalling Sting’s imaginative storytelling, Death Cab for Cutie’s sense of space and beauty, and John Mayer’s tight grooves, Rowan uses his notable prowess on the guitar as the foundation for his creativity.

Rowan Stuart’s career came into full swing in 2014 with the release of Hidden Doors, his first acoustic album –fourth in his career. He has since toured South Africa extensively, and opened for some of the country’s biggest acts, including The Parlotones, Prime Circle and Freshlyground.

The evening includes a special guest performance by vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Cheryl Engel of Connecting Stars. Formerly a studio session singer, Cheryl officially launched Connecting Stars in 2012, creating her own brand of Folk Rock.

Rowan Stuart’s show at The Barnyard Theatre Gateway is supported by the Music Mobility Fund, a funding mechanism administered by Concerts SA which offers opportunities for South African musicians to undertake live music tours.
