More on Simon:

Influenced early on by Bob Dylan, Neil Young, and Paul Simon, he has developed a distinctive voice over the course of six albums with his band. His acclaimed Suffer Well (2015) emerged from an ambitious song-a-week project, a process he repeated in 2017 to produce the songs that eventually found their way onto his his latest release, Dream I’m a Bird (2025). The new album showcases a refined maturity, with standout tracks such as “River at the End of the Road” and “Another New Morning” cementing his reputation as one of South Africa’s enduring indie-folk talents.

The Band:

Simon on his acoustic guitar and vocals is backed by the ever-jovial but sometimes dark Ross Campbell on drums, bassist Crick Lund, who also moonlights as a professor in psychology at King’s College, London, synth wizard Gustavo Fasani, and ‘new kid on the block’ up-and-coming trumpet maestro Drew Burton.

The band will perform tracks from the new album plus a few old favourites.
