Rowan Stuart
Bio

I'm a singer-songwriter-guitarist from Durban, South Africa. I describe my music as 'poetic pop'. 

My Bio:

Durban singer-songwriter-guitarist Rowan Stuart has been forging a path for himself as an esteemed original artist since 2008, when he released his first solo album, entitled 'A Thousand Brand New Places'. With a second album under his belt, and having received radio play on stations across Southern Africa, he continues to grow his fan-base in places far and wide.

Rowan performs his own brand of 'poetic pop', which critics have described as 'a sound in a class of it's own - soaring, lyrical vocals underpinned by virtuoso guitar work, creating a sound that is both exciting and moving'.

Rowan's live shows include a mix of acoustic and electric guitar, as well as live audio looping, creating a full and dynamic live sound. He is often joined by Jared Collison on bass guitar. He also performs with a full band for larger shows.

Fans of John Mayer, The Dave Matthews Band or Jason Mraz will enjoy his music!

My Band

I'm currently doing a stripped-down thang, but two of the people I most often collaborate with are: 

Jared Collison - bass guitar, healthy eating, fashionable clothing
Reg Stuart - percussion, sound engineering, gene-lending

My Gear

My simple live set-up is slowly evolving, but currently consists of:

Fender American Deluxe Series Strat (2004 model)
Cort SFX-5 Aura acoustic steel-string guitar (I really like this one & I haven't seen another one)
Laney Lionheart 5 Watt amplifier (lotsa valves so the 5 Watts are louder than you'd think)
Boss DD-20 delay
Boss TU-2 tuner
Ibanez TS9DX Tube Screamer overdrive pedal
Boss RC-50 Loop Station
