Guy Buttery is pretty enthusiastic about this solo concert tour. “There is something so intimate and humanistic about a solo show. One singular exchange of energy between performer and audience always sheds a new light on the music. Each performance offers up an inward gaze of self, hopefully for both the listener as well as myself acting as some form of catalyst in this process. The Intramural Encounters Tour hopes to bring this kind of introspection to every single concert showcasing a bunch of newer and older compositions.”
In 2018 the guitarist was awarded the Standard Bank Young Artist Award. His debut album in 2002, When I Grow Up… was nominated for ‘Best Instrumental’ and ‘Best Newcomer’ at the SAMA’s. He then went on to win a SAMA in 2010, for Fox Hill Lane and for Live in KwaZulu. He also received The Ovation Award for gigs at the National Arts Festival.
