Featuring nine bands in a huge marquee on a big stage with 30000 watts of sonic power, this year`s event is set to be a blast at one of the most incredible live music venues in SA. One of the highlights of the show will be the official (Cape Town) launch of Dan Patlansky's brand new album 'Introvertigo'. Patlansky says of the new album: “Fans can expect a unique brand of blues rock born out of guitar playing whilst striving for strong song writing. I am very excited and proud of this album, and honestly feel this is my best release to date.”
Another great addition to this year`s line up is Crimson House. The music will take you back a century and right into the modern age within the same bar line. Rooted in blues, coated in gypsy undertones, blended with early jazz fuelled by roaring guitars, blazing brass, sensational saxophones, shredding banjos, and soul-sweeping harmonicas, led by a gravel paved voice coming out of a hard-worked soul.
Needing no introduction, the line up also includes the Gerald Clark Trio, The Blues Broers and Mark Haze among others.
Doors open at 12.15pm. There will be a lucky draw worth nearly R24,000: A Fender Stratocaster, a huge cash prize and a Paul Bothner music voucher will be going home to a lucky ticket holder. You'll be able to buy a lucky draw ticket at the festival for R30, but you'll also get a free lucky draw entry worth R30 with all Computicket bookings. You can collect your lucky draw ticket at the gate on presentation of your Computicket.
