He has shared the stage with some of the country’s top musical exports, his lap steel guitar a quintessential feature within his performances and creative output, channeling his love for Americana and Blues. His style is further rooted with his “alternative folk” songwriting, heavily influenced by his finger picking technique from training as a classical guitarist at the Stellenbosch Conservatorium. Hugo Veldsman and his band has captured audiences (big and small) with soft worded songs of hope and meaning to rompin’ stompin’ blues straight out of a Mississippi bayou.Limited Tickets AvailableBook early to avoid disappointment!See you there!
