Catch Don Maclean’s second SA tour
A number of Cross Bones shows will feature collaborations with South African blues and roots artists
Blues musician, Doc MacLean’s second African tour ‘Cross Bones Blues’ finds him returning to many of the places he visited on his previous ‘Zulu Skies’ adventure.
As if that tour wasn’t big enough, Cross Bones includes nearly 50 shows that will take touch most parts of South Africa.
KZN music lovers will be able to catch the American muso who hails from the Mississippi Delta at one of several venues across the province from 14 to 21 November, when he visits Pietermaritzburg, Howick, Eshowe, Richards Bay, Umdloti and Ramsgate.
From the gala tour launch at the Canadian High Commission, to the massive OppiKoppi Festival, he’ll be frequenting a range of venues including theatres, cafes, and wild little juke joints.
A number of Cross Bones shows will feature collaborations with South African blues and roots artists. MacLean, who was ‘thrilled’ by the musicians he met last year, is working to create opportunities for these artists to tour North America. South Africa and Canada have much in common, and he believes a broader exchange of artists would serve both well. In addition to fostering cultural, diplomatic and economic contacts, Doc continues to mentor a number of younger artists, and will present guitar workshops as his tour schedule permits.
