PJ POWERS:

South African music legend PJ Powers “Thandeka” is a much-loved, award-winning singer with a multitude of gold and platinum albums under her belt.

A born and bred Durban girl, her career started in the 1980s as the lead singer of Hotline, a band that blazed a trail, touring through a tumultuous South Africa on the back of songs that have been indelibly stamped into the psyche of the nation. “Feel so Strong,” “Jabulani,” “There is an Answer” and many more. It was during this period that she was given the name “Thandeka” by her adoring fans.

She then went on to pursue a solo career that flourished during the 1990s and 2000s and saw her travel the world performing in concerts and at events including the proud moment when she sang the, now internationally famous, “World in Union” at the rugby world cup. Her most recent hits include chart-topping singles such as “Destiny,” “Stay” and the recently penned “Walk in my Shoes” and “Born to an Audience.” PJ also teamed up to sing a hip hop version of “Jabulani” with the late HHP (Hip Hop Pantsula.) In April 2017 PJ produced “Home to Africa”, a collaboration with Ugandan RnB artists Radio & Weazel.

She is presently in the studio working on her fifth solo album which promises to bring forth a batch of new hits. She has performed for Kings and Queens, Presidents and Prima Donnas, Vagabonds, Ne’er do wells, Superstars and hundreds of thousands of music lovers during a lifetime of playing for the audiences she loves. She has shared the stage with a long list of musicians from near and far. Artists like as Eric Clapton, Johnny Clegg, Joan Armatrading, Annie Lennox, Peter Gabriel, Hugh Masekela, Sibongile Khumalo, the Mahotella Queens, Youssou N Dour, Miriam Makeba, Harry Belafonte, The Corrs and Mike and the Mechanics to mention a few.

As someone that Madiba held close to his heart, she was asked to write the official song for her beloved ‘Tata’ on his 85th birthday which she sang to him and a host of luminaries during the internationally broadcast celebration.

As a true daughter of Africa, she continues to enthral audiences wherever she plays will be at The Timber Fest in Knysna with her long-time side-man and Knysna local, Tigger Reunert for a show on Saturday 14th March and they are sure to rock the socks off all that attend.

STEVE UMCULO:

Steve is an upbeat and energetic singer/songwriter born and raised in the culturally rich and bustling city of Johannesburg, South Africa. His music is a tasty blend between folk harmonies and afro-centric grooves. Steve maintains a seamless balance between sing-along melodies and dance-inducing grooves; his live show is as zestful as his personality.

Steve’s energy and positivity is as contagious as it is refreshing. His engaging presence and cheerful attitude will leave you captivated, motivated and invigorated. Sing. Dance. Smile:)
