Louise Carver

Home Tour Live

In the bustling financial hub of South Africa, a passionate advocate of local music, Singer/ songwriter Louise Carver, had a vision. She yearned to create a live show that would not only celebrate the songs she loved growing up but also pay tribute to the incredible talent that has emerged in her beloved country. With unwavering determination, Louise set out to weave together a 75-minute feast for the ears, encompassing a wide variety of genres that have shaped the South African music landscape.

Louise knew that this show had to be more than just a regular gig; it had to transcend the boundaries of ordinary performances and stand tall on theatre stages worldwide. She longed for a production that could evoke a sense of nostalgia and warmth, captivating audiences both at home and among expatriate communities across the globe. To bring her vision to life, Louise sought the expertise of Collett Dawson, a well-known theatre producer, who would guide the production and transform it into a slick, heartwarming showcase of South African music.

Classics like “Paradise Road” by Joy, “Weeping” by Bright Blue, and “Too Late for Mama” by the legendary Brenda Fassie will transport listeners to bygone eras while stirring emotions that were as relevant today as they were then. These iconic melodies will be perfectly intertwined with newer South African hits, such as Prime Circle’s infectious “Pretty Like the Sun.” Louise’s own chart-toppers, including “Home” and “Empty Fantasy,” will further add to the tapestry of sound, showcasing her talent and the depth of her musical prowess.

The show unfolds as a seamless blend of genres, from soulful ballads to upbeat rock anthems, from the heartfelt melodies of yesteryear to the vibrant rhythms of the present.

The carefully curated setlist, the captivating storytelling, and the impeccable performances will transport the audience to a place where memories were made and emotions were stirred. The show will resonate with South Africans, both at home and abroad, serving as a bridge between distant lands and connecting expatriates to their roots.

On the stage, a trio of musical brilliance awaits. Louise Carver, with her powerful voice, takes her place at the piano centre stage. Simphiwe Kulla, a master of the guitar, lends his soulful melodies and harmonies, intertwining with Louise’s vocals whilst Kenny Williams’s percussive rhythms fill the air, adding depth and texture to the sonic tapestry. Together, their acoustic symphony unfolds, a captivating fusion of talent and passion.
