International blues maestro Dan Patlansky and acclaimed
artist Albert Frost will bring the party to the Durban Botanic Gardens on
Sunday, 17 July when the blues meets rock as part of the popular Old Mutual
Music at the Lake series.
Whether you are into blues or rock, the experience is
guaranteed to be a sizzling mix of electrifying world-class music, pleasant
weather, sub-tropical flora and a great crowd.
Dan Patlansky |
Dan Patlansky, fresh from his hugely successful European
tour with Joe Satriani, has become one of the most respected blues/rock artists
to emerge from South Africa and was recently voted as one of the Top Ten best
rock guitarists in the world today.
Also coming to play is a Cape Town based artist Hezron
Chetty, who is best known for performing the violin through a loop station.
Bringing a fresh and progressive approach to instrumental music, he has
captured the attention of the music scene, both locally and abroad.
Exciting as the sounds will be, Old Mutual Music at the Lake
is about much more than just music. “Through this series we hope to raise
consciousness of our environment and how we could and should experience and use
it in a responsible way,” says Old Mutual sponsorship manager Bandile Mngoma.
“Our future wellbeing depends a lot on the commitments we make today.”
Music fans are encouraged to come early, bring picnic chairs
and blankets and recharge their batteries in beautiful natural surroundings.
The whole family is welcome - there is also a supervised children’s area.
