Straight in from a South East Asian tour and a highly successful run at this year’s National Arts Festival which saw him win a Standard Bank Ovation Award, Guy Buttery returns to Johannesburg for a handful of concerts. With a few nationwide tours already under his belt in the first half of 2017, including a string of concerts with Shane Cooper and another tour with long-time collaborator Nibs van der Spuy, Buttery also went on to work with internationally acclaimed virtusos, Thomas Leeb and American-guitar hero Kaki King. Buttery makes his mark with back-to-back shows in various venues all over Gauteng.
As an internationally recognized musician, this multi-instrumentalist enjoys invitations to play sell-out performances all over the globe. The USA, UK, Australia, France, Brazil, and Italy have all welcomed him back year after year. However, to simply label Guy Buttery as one of South Africa’s musical phenoms would be an injustice. His international role has surpassed merely performing concerts to foreign audiences. It has evolved into one as an ambassador of South African music, inspiring people across the world with his home-grown style at the very heart of his talent and tenacity. Guy’s distinct unification of South African guitar music is the musical advocate for everything positive and beautiful about the place he calls home.
