Guitarist Guy Buttery and double bassist Shane Cooper are teaming up for their first collaborative tour which kicks off in the Western Cape in March. The idea to collaborate together as a duo has been on the cards for many years and is finally happening starting with a series of concerts in and around Cape Town.
As an internationally recognized musician, Guy enjoys invitations to play sell-out performances all over the globe. The USA, UK, Australia, France, Brazil, and Italy have all welcomed him back year after year. He has inspired people across the world with his ambient homegrown style.
Shane has spent the past decade collaborating, performing and recording with various artists – both internationally and from all over Southern Africa. His debut album, Oscillations, won the 2014 South African Music Award (SAMA) for Best Jazz Album. Shane also received the Standard Bank Young Artist Award in 2013. He has gigged with with the likes of Kyle Shepherd, Zim Ngqawana, Lionel Loueke, and Kesivan Naidoo, as well as regularly performing under his electronic dance moniker, Card on Spokes.
This is a first-timer for the duo
Shane and Guy have individually collected a variety of accolades in their careers however this is the first time that both South African Music Award (SAMA) recipients will perform together as a duo, creating a new experience for music lovers that encapsulates a melting pot of South African musical flavours.
