A mutual love for The Band brought three legends of South African music together, and a classic blues and boogie combo – The Breeze – was formed, featuring Rob Nagel, Robin Auld and Michael Canfield.
They will be playing at the iconic and laid-back Triggerfish, on Friday February 24, at 8pm, and the doors open at 6pm, for those who would like to have dinner.
Robin Auld, with a plethora of self-penned hits in the 80s, a career in London for over a decade and the experience of a thousands of gigs, which honed him into one of the finest singer/songwriter/guitarists South Africa has produced.
His music has evolved from the poprock sound of his early hits into a contemporary mix of roots and blues.
Robin is joined by South African Blues royalty in Rob Nagel, the Big Bass Man from the legendary Blues Broers.
Rob first heard the blues on a Chess Records compilation, including Muddy Waters, Sonny Boy Williamson and Little Walter. He stopped picking cotton, and immersed himself in the intricacies of the blues harmonica.
Touring Europe, and America, he amassed a huge blues record collection and frequented countless sleazy blues clubs. He has been playing bass and harmonica for almost three decades with anyone who shares the passion.
Rounding out the trio is SA’s own American import, Michael Canfield.
Michael has played with some of the biggest names in rock and roll, from Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley through to Paul Simon, Billy Idol and Bob Dylan, in a career spanning more than five decades.
He’s done the Grammy’s, the Oscars and busked in the streets of New York City. In South Africa he’s worked with everyone from Johnny Clegg to Boeremusiek legends Radio Kalahari Orkes, to The Black Cat Bones.
