VENUE: The Knoll Historic Guest Farm

9pm: The Marshall Music Band

The Marshall Music Midlands Band or “MMMmmm….Band” is a group of talented individuals who do more than provide great service and do excellent repairs; they know how to rock. It’s a common culture for them to have jams in the shop, and this time they’re bringing the jams to the people of MiTH.

Josh White, the youngest of the lot, and an extremely talented multi-instrumentalist will definitely turn heads as he takes on the drums. Chilled, but deadly Aidan Compton will accompany the band on bass, keeping the vibes nice and steady. On rhythm guitar and backing vocals, is honorary MMMmmm member and MiTH regular, Josh Strydom. Lastly on guitar, bass, vocals and… other, is Skippy Kubheka who will ensure that everyone has a great time, and sings along.

8pm: TChristian

Pietermaritzburg-born TChristian, formally known as Thanduxolo Christian, had a goal to reach the highest level of education. During his years of education, TChristian focused on on music and vocal training. He majored in drumming, getting the opportunity to play for various artists around the world, like Simphiwe Dana, Joyous Celebration, Themba Mkwena, Hlengiwe Mhlaba, Ayanda Ntanzi to name a few.

In 2014, TChristian made the transition to performing at various eateries; an environment where he feels music is best appreciated. He is also the proud owner of his own brand, which supplies entertainment for family events, weddings, parties, or any event that might be enhanced by live music to help the soul recharge.

TChristian believes that the skill of being a one-man-band is the most appealing musical enterprise known to man. He brings that alive and creates amazing musical performances, drawing influences from jazz, soul, Afro-beat, fusion music, RnB, and many more. With one album released, and four singles, he has manufactured a sound that delights the ears – the true experience of a live sound with audio technicality.

7pm: Painting So Severe

The indie psych-rock duo Painting So Severe consists of Seth Hutton and Joshua White who are both from Pietermaritzburg

Twenty-year-old Joshua White has been playing guitar for just over five years and is self-taught. He has picked up a variety of other instruments, and has learnt how to mix the band’s own music.

Seth Hutton, who is also twenty years old, has been singing for most his life and contributes largely to their lyrical song-writing. He also plays trombone, and composes musical pieces in his spare time.

They are both proficient in music theory as they studied it high school, but that doesn’t stop them from breaking the rules in their music!
