Who are we?

Cal Thompson

It has been 21 years of musical endeavours for South African singer, composer, lyricist and multi-instrumentalist Cal Thompson. 

Thompson’s original project grabs and amalgamates influences from a vast variety of musical styles. From the Romantic classical piano pieces of Frédéric Chopin, to the slow, yet groovy minor blues, the textured grandeur of choral music and the contagious, upbeat energy of funk, rock and soulful music. Thompson’s compositions embrace her multi-instrumentalism and love of harmony. Her versatility on piano, bass guitar, guitar, kalimba, accordion and banjo as well as her love for collaboration, engenders a platform for ‘colourful’ music with an ever-changing atmosphere.

Bam Bam Brown

Bam Bam Brown's eclectic approach to song writing and performance is one for the books. His music has taken him all over the country and with the aid of his band, "The Wild Professors" at his side he has seen shows in India, Berlin, Prague, Swaziland, Lesotho and Mozambique. His sound has been described as the "meeting of many minds, modern and mysterious" and seems to fluidly deviate from genre from track to track. The strength lies in Brown's unique but sincere approach to his lyrical content, often juxtaposing nursery rhyme aesthetic with heart wrenching tales of love, life and all the bittersweet dynamite in between.
