Albert Frost, a familiar and respected feature of the South African blues-rock music scene, will perform at the Bôrdienghuis Theatre on Friday 13 May at 20:00.
For the past two decades, the energetic performances of this guitarist have dazzled audiences as he deftly alternates between rhythm and lead, while showcasing acoustic and electric guitars.
His first love is blues, stemming from the influence of his long relationship with the Blues Broers with whom he has performed since 1994.
He has recorded with Arno Carstens, Koos Kombuis, Chris Chameleon, Blues Broers and many others. He has also performed with international artists like Ali Faka Toure and Finley Quaye.
He has toured with Simple Minds and Rem, and supported the Rolling Stones.
Frost is also currently involved in two crossover classical productions: Blue Moon, featuring renowned classical vocalist Minette du Toit-Pearce and Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, featuring maestro violinist Petrus de Beer.
Frost recently released his third solo album, The Wake Up, which, according to Frost, signals the “start of a new journey” for him.
In a departure from Frost’s blues roots, The Wake Up explores various musical avenues and lyrical content to create something he says will surprise and excite his fans.
