DIRT & STONE LIVE Announced At The Drama Factory

Acclaimed musicians, Tombstone Pete (guitar) and Jean Marais (percussion), look to put hair on the chests of audiences everywhere - starting with Somerset West - through their fresh and exciting take on the acoustic duo. Drawing on Rock, Jazz, Folk, Blues and Classical, Dirt & Stone bring you two sets of original material and covers from the charts back when the charts made sense.

"When Tombstone Pete plays his guitar people can't help but sit up and listen. The positive energy that flows through him is not an act...." - Jen Fur, YourLMG. Pete's attention-grabbing guitar style was developed during his time as a street performer in Australia, New Zealand, and the UK, and he brings experience from his other guises as an actor, improviser, and former radio host, to make each show an engaging experience.(Check More Info for bio)

Jean Marais has been a gigging drummer since the age of twelve and today is consequently one of the most respected and in-demand drummers on the local music scene, both live and in the studio. Both are renowned for the quality of their work and the uniqueness or their respective styles and cannot wait to share the fruits of their combined efforts.(Check More Info for bio)

Among the covers we will be treated to will be the likes of The Way You Look Tonight, Porter's Let's Do It, Nirvana's On A Plain and more!
