Boschkloof Acoustics Tonight

ONLY FOUR TICKETS LEFT.

Gerald Clark is playing at Boschkloof Acoustics in Stellenbosch tonight. He'll take the audience on a unique adventure with his acoustic-stompbox-telephonic conversation-loop-beat station. Clark will set the atmosphere with his love songs, take you to his morning surfs on the wild, wild west coast – Elandsbaai, you'll hear some of your favourite radio hits, and he'll get down to the bones of the blues with his electric guitar. 

Die Ander Konsert - the other side of KKNK

The Klein Karoo Nasionale Kunstefees saw artists come and go, backtracks, strange collaboration, newbies, divas, and jokesters. One would expect that at a get-together of everything arts that you would be blown away show after show. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case. Even Koos Kombuis failed to impress.

THERE'S AFRIKAANS MUSIC AND MUSIC IN AFRIKAANS.

There was at least one standout. The show on everyone’s lips across the festival grounds – Die Ander Konsert.

Die Ander Konsert, a music production, was a surprising mix of local musicians, each known for their unique style and genre. Luna Paige together with Gerald Clark, Frieda van den Heever, Nick Turner, Pietman Geldenhuys, Mavis Vermaak, Schalk Joubert, and Ronan Skillen created a programme to challenge the conventions expected in Afrikaans music. They entertained and captivated their audience. It was a show with a difference.  It was carefully balanced with playful interactions, and the audience enjoyed insights on their artistry and heard the stories behind the songs performed.

The combination of artists and the energy they shared on stage was outstanding. If you missed out on the KKNK and Die Ander Konsert, they are planning to take the show to other venues – definitely a must see.

Craft Beer and Blues

Gerald Clark will be playing at the Stellenbosch Craft Beer Festival on Saturday the 18th of April. Come and enjoy his golden voice while sipping on the finest of beer – a combination not to be missed. 

A farmhouse fitted for the blues.

It's in the middle of heatstroke in Wellington, but recording time has arrived for Gerald, The Deadmen and company. They are taking their ideas and vintage equipment to a lovely farmhouse in Wellington – Simon Orange's home sweet home actually. They will be enjoying jam sessions and battling the heat for the next two weeks. 

Clark decided to use an old farmhouse for his 4th album to bring the aesthetics of his live shows into the studio. The house lends a different flavour to the music and an atmosphere for each muso to be as creative as possible. According to Gerald, the house just comes with a certain vibe! The farmhouse has great acoustics and it gave the band the opportunity to connect, seeing as the farm is on the outskirts of Wellington. 

Getting ready to record.

GERALD CLARK IS EXPERIMENTING WITH DYNAMIC IDEAS, FROM FUNK TO AFRICAN RHYTHMS, IN PREPARATION FOR HIS 4TH ALBUM.

Gerald Clark will soon be heading to the studio to record his 4th album. He is taking a different approach this time round, collecting vintage amps, guitars, and more (his keeping them secret for now) to create a groundbreaking fusion of sound!

He will be joined by a host talented South African musicians, Schalk van der Merwe, Tim Rankin, Jono Sweepman, Guy Collins, Simon Orange, Luna Paige and Ongx Mono.
