Imagine a blend of slide guitar, harmonica vibes, African blues, and soulful vocals - all wrapped up in the unique sound of Robin Auld.
And if you've grooved to hits like "All of Woman," "Baby You Been Good," and "Perfect Day," you're in for a treat as the acclaimed musician brings his unique sounds to South Africa.
Born in Zambia and bouncing between Southern Africa and Scotland during his childhood, Auld's music echoes his diverse upbringing, blending African and Celtic influences.
Picture him learning to strum the guitar to the sounds of Hendrix and with Neil Young in his ears. Auld’s music has also evolved, from his early pop-rock days to a cool mix of roots and blues.
Those in the Mother City are now set to vibe to the Auld’s music as he is joined by violin virtuoso Rayelle Goodman at their upcoming show.
From classical elegance to on-the-spot improvisation, Goodman is acclaimed as a musical wizard. And after sharing the stages with top South African artists, she is now set to bring a Celtic/folk vibe to Cape Town.
Where: Café Roux in Noordhoek.
When: November 25 from 6pm to 9:30pm.
