VENUE: The Knoll Historic Guest Farm

8:30pm: Grace and the Big Guy

The renowned global life coaching firm, *Graceandthebigguy Inc.* will be bringing a series of key life lessons to the MiTH stage. Utilising experimental AI-simulated free floating ionian remote music-imaging telepathy (AFFIRM-IT), they will be channeling their message through the medium of song, utilising the on stage skills of our very own *Brian Bedingfield* and *Grace Botha* – incidentally known as *Grace and the Big Guy* – but the similarity ends there.

Disclaimer: This AI-human experiment could go horribly wrong, resulting in the human factor inexplicably shining through.

7:30pm: Antonio Ravell

Antonio Ravell is a vocalist and guitarist who has played throughout KZN at various venues, events and festivals. He is joined at MiTH by his lovely wife Joanne for a set of soulful blues tunes, with an original or two in the mix. MiTH is undoubtedly Ant’s (and more recently Jo’s) favourite audience to play for.

7pm: Craig Martens

Craig Martens is an acoustic guitarist and singer from Pietermaritzburg. He grew up on forestry estates and game reserves where the local people taught him to sing and play guitar from an early age. John Denver, Simon and Garfunkel, and Kris Kristofferson were among his early influences. Craig is a founding member of The Bandits, and The Mottled Crew bluegrass and country bands, and as a solo performer, he performs an eclectic mix of country, folk rock, bluegrass and soul. For this performance, he will be paying tribute to the late, great Kris Kristofferson with a guest appearance by the talented Grace Botha on one of his iconic songs.
