SOUTH Africa’s alternative rock artist, Jesse Clegg, will perform at two venues in KZN during his acoustic two-piece tour, Jesse Clegg Live and Unplugged.
Descending from a musical family, Jesse spent the first six years of his life on tour with his father, iconic South African singer Johnny Clegg. Jesse has achieved much in the five short years he has been active. He has released four Top 10 singles and toured extensively throughout South Africa, playing at the biggest festivals in the country.
As an official ambassador for the Nelson Mandela 46664 Foundation, Jesse has been invited to play at Radio City Music Hall in New York for the annual Mandela Day Concert. He has been nominated for three South African Music Awards over the course of his career. In 2014, Jesse brought his music to the international stage. He embarked on a seven-week tour across the United States and Canada, which comprised 32 shows in 31 cities. He has also played numerous high profile showcase festivals in the US – including the CMJ Music Marathon, the New Music Seminar and the CBGB Festival. In June, Jesse also performed on the main stage at UK’s Isle of Wight Festival.
