9.00pm – 10.00pm – ROWAN STUART
South African musician Rowan Stuart has created an inimitable brand of ‘folk-meets-pop’ music, seamlessly crossing over from acoustic singer-songwriter to radio charting pop artist, while retaining his signature depth of content. Recalling Sting's imaginative storytelling, Death Cab For Cutie's sense of space and beauty, and John Mayer's tight grooves, Rowan uses his notable prowess on the guitar as the foundation for his creativity.
Rowan's career came into full swing in 2014 with the release of his acoustic album 'Hidden Doors'. He has since toured South Africa, and opened for some of the country's biggest acts, including The Parlotones, Prime Circle, Matthew Mole and many others. A maestro guitarist, Rowan is a brand ambassador for Cort Guitars.
His single "Silver Balloon" (https://youtu.be/JZJdAXj4-r0), released late in 2016, was play-listed on major radio stations across South Africa, including 5FM, East Coast Radio, Algoa FM, KFM, 947 and more. Independent music journalist Claire Martens wrote: “Silver Balloon juxtaposes Rowan's earlier acoustic focus, working in a house/urban beat that provides a strong undercurrent for his signature lyrical content - storytelling at its best. This song is at once recognisable and different, indicating a fresh, new direction for the young guitar maestro. Produced by Shotgun Fakes - the husband and wife duo Stef and Pam Myburgh, previously of The Arrows - "Silver Balloon" carries with it the capacity for universal appeal. This is typical of Rowan, whose formula of both discerning, yet uplifting pop songs always hits the sweet spot.”
Rowan is currently continuing his touring schedule while preparing for the release of his next single later this year.
