Gerald Clark @ St Francis Brewing Co

ABOUT

Gerald Clark is an accomplished South African musician recognized for his extraordinary ability to tell a story with his music. He is one of SA’s top musicians – a singer and songwriter famous for his voice that can get down to the soul and honesty that consists within the blues.

But Gerald isn’t just another singer/songwriter or bluesman, he is original in his approach towards music and he will never fail to entertain. His inspiration comes from his love for traveling and being in nature. He has travelled and performed in over 14 countries and always tries to find adventure wherever he goes. Camping and surfing along a desolate coastline, speeding down a hill on a mountain bike or horse riding for days out in the wild is his passion and that same passion and love for life can be heard in his music.

Clark has released 5 successful albums of which one, Sweepslag, was nominated for a South African Music Award (SAMA). Clark’s second album, Black Water, gave him international success when the title track’s music video was nominated for an MTV Europe Animation Award. His music has been used on national television as well as being playlisted on the biggest radio stations in South Africa.He was also nominated for the best solo act in 2016 at one of SA's biggest art and culture fests, die Woordfees.A big moment for Gerald because he was up against Yvonne Chaka Chaka, another true SA legend!
