Showroom March-July line-up
In the quaint village of Prince Albert, you can not only adopt a donkey and cultivate a rural lifestyle of leisure, but enjoy world-class live entertainment at its Showroom Theatre.
Saxophonist Andrew Young and Pianist Rene Piet are back with their own unique brand of easy listening/smooth jazz at The Showroom on Saturday, 24 March 2018. Last year, Young collaborated with Piet at his Recording Studio in George and the result is their new album Easy Street.
Francois Van Coke, the lead vocalist, songwriter, and founding member of the South African alternative rock bands Fokofpolisiekar and Van Coke Kartel will rock The Showroom on 28 March 2018.
Valiant Swart, a treasure of local music, comes to visit the Showroom on 7 April 2018. Swart has been a fixture on the SA music scene since 1990. His particular brand of soulful blues, folk and country-rock, blended with indigenous South African influences like boeremusiek and kwela, has earned him a large, loyal following countrywide.
Swart’s solo performances are the stuff of legend. With his acoustic guitar and harmonica, he combines his classic songs – some poignant, some sad, some absolutely hilarious, with the storytelling style of a true raconteur.
Join Mel Botes for all the best acoustic songs from our favourite poets on 30 June 2018. Botes will cover Mark Knopfler, David Gilmour, Rodriques, Cat Stevens, Van Morrison, Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen to name a few. He will also make use of the opportunity to showcase some of his original work. This show will feature the same pinpoint accuracy in his playing, the same delightful Botes touch, and authenticity that audiences have come to expect from the virtuoso.
Chris Chameleon and Daniella Deysel's Kat & Wolf makes a stop at the Showroom on 7 July 2018. This musical project was born from the desire of both these artists to fly free on the wings of their imagination, with sound, images and costuming in the wilderness outside the confines of their established names.
You can book your seats for all these once-off shows online at www.showroomtheatre.co.za, or at the Showroom Theatre in Church Street, Prince Albert. For more information visit our website or call 023 5411 563.
