Stopping off in Cape Town, Johannesburg and Durban, the month-long tour features local acts including Prime Circle and Cassette playing alongside Esjay Jones and her all-new American band.
Highlights on the way include Durban's Rock On Summer event headlined by Prime Circle and also featuring Cassette, and an unplugged set with Farryl Purkiss and Australian singer-songwriter Lior.
Playing support the tour will include Heroes Wear Red, Voodoo Child and Starplayer. The Stealing Love Jones Homecoming Tour kicks off in Johannesburg on 4 December and ends at the Ballito New Years Eve Party with Zebra & Giraffe, DJ Fresh and more on 31 December.
Since moving to San Diego in August to try a new venture in the Los Angeles music scene, Esjay and her new band (Daniel Kurts - drums, Christian Rush Williams - guitar, Rowdy Bossard - bass) have opened for Sprung Monkey and 'Rockstar: Supernova' heroine Dilana with their song 'Don't Blame Britney' nominated for a Hollywood Music Award. 'Hospital' and 'Dont Blame Britney', from the 'Bleed Too Bloom' album, have been playlisted on San Diego radio station 94.9.
At the beginning of 2008 Stealing Love Jones embarked on a three-month self-financed tour of North America that included performances in New York City and showcases for major labels at LA's Viper Room. A little over a year later Esjay made the move back - permanently.
