KNYSNA NEWS - Singer and harmonica player Gordi Brown is back again to deliver the blues in the tradition of the Chicago masters, adding West Coast swing and classic jazz standards from "The Great American Songbook".

"For me, the blues has to be deep, emotional, convincing, and from the heart," he said. "As far as the jazz-oriented tunes go, they must swing and be very bluesy."

A great entertainer, Gordi has performed to much acclaim in the UK and Europe, and of course South Africa. His shows are always a sell-out, so book your seats early to avoid disappointment.

"There's always a fantastic vibe at Belvidere Manor where I can get up close and personal. It's a joy for me to express my brand of blues to such an appreciative audience. I'm looking forward to rockin' the house again ..!"

Gordi Brown and His BigTime Harmonica will be "blowin' the blues" at Belvidere Manor Hotel from 19:00 to 20:15 on Tuesday 30 May.

Tickets can be purchased in advance only, from the Hearing & Health Centre on the upper floor of Knysna Mall. All proceeds go to NSRI Knysna.

Over and above performing, Brown presents a weekly blues and swingin' jazz radio programme, "The Gordi Brown Blues Show", on Knysna 97.0FM and MC Plettenberg Bay 90.3FM every Sunday between 17:00 and 18:00. 

"It's a privilege to be able to share my passion for the blues and play my favourite sounds from my personal record collection. It's my time with the music that I love, my way to review the roots of my musical inspiration. Hopefully, listeners will learn more about the artists who have helped make the blues one of the richest and most enduring forms in musical history."
