About Richard Pryor’s “One Night of the BLUES”
The Blues returns dramatically to café Roux with Richard Pryor's "One Night of the BLUES' on the 21st May. This show explodes with soulful jazz infusions written into the blues script while seamlessly intertwining with flavours of Rock & Roll. Let's see what's on the Menu: The legendary and remarkable skills of Kevin Gibson & Steve de Sousa will dish out a masterclass of backline instrumentation that forms solid foundations and Dazzling Features. Add the passionate and characterful keys and vocals of Dave Goldberg and you already have a show to be reckoned with. But don't unfasten your seatbelts just yet because The Blues Train aint stopping there as Nhoza, the Soul Sister, jumps on board with the energy & power of an African flame lighting the way to your sweet redemption. And if that ain’t enough for the soul then let it be saved by the Reverend Mr. Bardo who delivers a bold message from the 'Book of Resonance'. Holding it all together with wayward directions & dry humour, Richard Pryor will be injecting his own quirky brand of unpredictable, fiery Fender Strat antics that are sure to cause any sound engineer to re-think & have another drink. So let it be said boldly, "Hold on to your hats because Blues Magic is coming your way and you'll be sure to pull out some Golden Rabbits" Richard's “One Night of the BLUES” features in this specific & unconventional order: - Kevin Gibson - Drums - Steve De Sousa - Bass - David Goldberg - Keyboards & Vocals - Mr. Bardo - Vocals - Nhoza - Vocals & Backing Vocals - Richard Pryor - Guitar & Comedy BOOKING NOTES If you can’t get the table configuration you want and end up booking seats on different tables as a result, please do so under the same email address and we’ll automatically put you together on one table.
