ABOUT

Ashram n. A place of religious learning or retreat
Appropriate then that we will be hosting these remarkable singer/songwriters in an Ashram, because watching Joshua Grierson perform can definitely be classified as a spiritual experience.

Although this is the first time we'll be hosting Pat at a STFD event, it can definitely be said that his
music seamlessly weaves between light and shade, reflecting his journey in life as an artist and a human being.

He also serves as a healer, not only through his music but through part-time work in treatment centers for addictions. Some years ago, he had the number 1 song on 5FM, then South Africa’s most prominent radio station, yet a penchant for self destruction through drug and alcohol abuse stifled his incredible momentum.

Now embracing recovery and sobriety, Pat is proud to be firmly back on his feet. Through his trials, he never once put down his guitar and continues as a prolific writer, "turning phrases so perfectly formed you’d think that they came off of a lathe’ says Dylan Mulenburg (editor at Superbalist). A charming entertainer with an affinity for tapping into joy and pain in quick succession, his music is honest and is fuelled by renewed dreams, and an ineffable depth of feeling.

Joshua Grierson is someone we've had the pleasure of hosting at 2 previous events and there is no doubt, Josh is one of the finest, most passionate and talented Singer/Songwriters this Country has produced. 
Whether leading you down a quiet path of romantic melodies or beating your chest with the thumping of his feet, there is a calling in this South African's heart to show you with great vulnerability - yet confidence, that the only way to entertain you is to show you all of the colours that make up this renegade's universe.

Doors open at 6pm and the show starts at 8pm!
