PERFORMING highlights from his highly-acclaimed ‘Padkos’ tour and his latest show, ‘Songs of Sixty’, Tony Cox will be making two appearances in KZN this April.
One of the concerts will be held on Saturday, 18 April at Open Strings, Villa Brae, 16 Jameson Terrace, Kloof from 1pm to 5pm. The second concert will take place on Sunday, 19 April at 1 Karlson Place, Blackridge, Pietermaritzburg at 2pm.
‘Songs of Sixty’ sees a return to singing for the guitarist after a 16-year lapse. Aged 60, the songs are a reflection of his life and loves, from laugh-out-loud humour to darkly tragic reminiscences. The ‘Padkos’ material is the multiple SAMA award-winner’s instrumental homage to great South African composers. The show, which includes songs such as Juluka’s ‘Impi’, Bright Blue’s ‘Weeping’ and PJ Powers’ ‘Jabulani’, has been performed across South Africa to great critical acclaim. The acoustic guitar legend’s album has recently been nominated for yet another SAMA award at this year’s awards ceremony.
This, combined with the guitar skills that have made this homegrown and fiercely South African musician forever indelibly linked to the instrument in the minds of his fellow countrymen, makes for an unforgettable, world-class show from a truly unique South African artist.
Workshop: Tony will be presenting a guitar workshop this month at Open Strings in Kloof, Durban at 9am on Sunday, 19 April. The workshop is open to beginners right through to the very advanced.
