Guitar Conversations is expected to be a memorable one, with the two guitar virtuosos serenading the night with the sounds of some of their most popular hits and other fan-favourites, with some surprises.
Between the pair, they have both won multiple awards and performed internationally for world-wide audiences and are not only master guitarists and vocalist but have also been long-time friends.
“It’s been a long time. Johannesburg are you ready to come out? I’m home and I’m going to be taking you way back and bring you all the way to the now.” shares Jonathan Butler.
“I am about to release my new album ‘Colours’ after 3 years of not doing a jazz album and am super excited to share some of it and especially excited to share the stage with my friend of over 20 years.” shares Ernie Smith.
Tickets for this show are available via Web Tickets.
