9pm: Tracing Circles

Tracing Circles is a local trio hailing from Good Ol’ Maritzburg. They have been rocking stages like Post Postino, the Vern, Crusaders, and Robson’s to name a few. They have also played a few festivals like Seeweed, debuted at Splashy Fen, and tore down the Tanglewood Festival. They are definitely a band worth listening to. From the back, we have the thunderous but laidback drummer, Patrick Austin, who will keep those feet tapping. On bass, we have the beautiful but deadly Dev Van Rensburg, who will keep the grooves flowing. And on the frontlines, we have Skippy Kubheka on guitar and vocals, who will get the good people rocking out and off their seats. Tracing Circles is definitely looking forward to coming back home to MiTH and sharing the stage with the other great artists.

8pm: Rhiannon Reid

Well known to MiTH from performing with the Reid Family Band, Rhiannon Reed is a local musician, and now a published author. Previously a student of Kech Sanchez, and a singer in the Howick High School band, she has honed her skills on guitar and vocals over the years. For this event she will be accompanied by her dad, Vince, who has had an interest in music from a young age and is mainly self-taught. He plays keyboard, guitar, and recently, tin whistle.

7pm: Ilan Lax with Brian Bedingfield and Roly Struckmeyer

Ilan Lax has graced the Maritzburg and KZN music scene since the 80’s with his soulful and poetic songs that reflect the many facets and interests of his life – love and family, law and nature, and the world in general. Ilan is joined for this set of his original songs and a few favourite covers by Pietermaritzburg legends: multi-instrumentalist Brian Bedingfield on guitar, banjo and mandolin, and Roly Struckmeyer on bass. These guys are having fun working together and will be a pleasure to listen to.
