MEET THE ARTISTS:

Riaan Smit

An award-winning, internationally acclaimed Namibian-born, South African-bred singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist celebrated for his high-energy, genre-bending music style. Best known as the charismatic frontman of the "alternative ska, or gypsy jungle band" Crimson House, his signature sound—which he describes as "Afro-gypsy blues"—fuses African rhythms, gypsy swing, blues, rock, and ska.

Hugo Veldsman Trio

Hugo Veldsman has solidified himself within the Folk and Roots scene of Southern Africa. He has shared the stage with some of the country’s top musical exports, his lap steel guitar a quintessential feature within his performances and creative output, channeling his love for Americana and Blues. His style is further rooted with his “alternative folk” songwriting, heavily influenced by his finger picking technique from training as a classical guitarist at the Stellenbosch Conservatorium. Hugo Veldsman and his band has captured audiences (big and small) with soft worded songs of hope and meaning to rompin’ stompin’ blues straight out of a Mississippi bayou.
