LYRICAL soul-rock trio Sonik Citizen is bringing their Afro-soul and roots-rock to Durban this weekend. The group is the brainchild of two time SAMA winning producer and multi-award winning artist, Mark Fransman. Holding down the groove are celebrated drummer Paul Tizzard and bass player Eugene Ackerman. Fransman fronts the group with his unique soul-inspired voice and all-round musicianship.
The trio will perform at The Chairman, 146 Mahatma Gandhi Road, on Saturday, 15 April from 11pm. Tickets cost R150 each. Contact 078 387 1408 / info@thechairmanlive.com
Fransman has performed on major stages and festivals worldwide and is also a recipient of the Standard Band Young Artist Jazz Award, the FNB Vita Award and winner of the Adcock Ingram Jazz Award. He has recorded with numerous local and international artists.
Sonik Citizen’s national tour 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.
