LINE-UP, 18TH AUGUST - Julia's Show!
1) YVES
(From Trailer Rich) is a singer / guitarist, who delivers acoustic flavoured songs of the conviction and integrity of Rodrigues, Chris Cornell and Jack Johnson. For the past ten years, he's been playing guitar in various bands such as "Desert Velvet" with Al Paton and "Fahrenheit", but recently decided to get more involved in songwriting. He has successfully recorded a 12-track demo and we're looking forward to seeing his performance of captivating, original lyrics combined with great skill, both vocally and on guitar.
2) STANLEY ZIVE
Born and bred in Cape Town, Zive has been playing the local Cape music circuit since 2006. Citing Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits and Johnnie Walker as influences, Stanley Zive's music is a throwback to singer/songwriters of a bygone era. This "Byron of barflies" sings about love and the loss of it in a way that is sentimental but never soppy. His lyrics have a poetic charm interlaced with contemporary sensibility.

3) ROBIN & STEPHEN RICHARDSON
These two brothers are teaming up for the second time in the public eye. They will be performing on vocal and guitars and describe their music as original, mellow and acoustic. Robin has a fantastic gift for songwriting and after their last performance at the Barleycorn, where they were truly well-received, this keen duo will be back to dazzle our audience again this coming monday.
4) NATE MAINGARD
An “old” Barleycorn-attendee who performs solo, acoustic, indie, folk-rock and is quite a skilled songwriter. Lyrically, he likes to challenge himself on a regular basis and tries to “say complex things simply, without getting too caught up in grammatical overcompensation.” His music will give you a real, earth-felt, truthful and passionate experience and deeper insight into this muso we call Nate. Nate hopes to be opening for some more established bands and is looking for some professional, dedicated musicians to create a band of his own, so if there are any double-bassists, percussionists and violinists who fit the demeanor, this is the man to call.
