Frost returns to Knysna

-

KNYSNA - Popular South African blues-rock artist Albert Frost is returning to Knysna, as events organisers Better Live attempt to blow life into live performanc­es here.

Under previous lockdown levels, live performanc­es were off the cards, but last week PJ Powers returned to Knysna, and next week it's Albert Frost's turn. For the past two decades the energetic performanc­es of the Sama-award winning guitarist / singer has captured audiences here and abroad. Now a favourite on the South African live circuit, Frost deftly alternates between rhythm and lead, showcasing his extraordin­ary skills on both acoustic and electric guitars. His first love is the blues, stemming from the influence of his long relationsh­ip with the Blues Broers, a well-known Cape Town group with whom he has performed since 1994 at the age of 17.

Frost, who has performed with Finley Quaye and toured with R.E.M. and

Simple Minds, returns to Knysna for what is sure to be another fine performanc­e - and to promote his new tracks. Among them is his latest single,

I'm still here - a high-energy rock tune about surviving life making music. It is "a celebratio­n of passion for what we do, an affirmatio­n of purpose. A promise to keep believing and doing what we do, no matter what, and keeping the spirit alive by giving it all," says Frost.

Frost will be performing at Blend Country Restaurant in Knysna on Friday 26 February from 19:00. Tickets are available at www.quicket.co.za, or from Blend. Pre-booking is essential as tickets are limited. All Covid-19 precaution­s are in

place. – Supplied, Better Live
