Louise Day Band
Talented
singer/songwriter Louise Day has been captivating
audiences and stealing hearts since the age of ten.
A true Cape Town girl though and through, her unique
blend of what pundits have coined Piano-root Rock,
delivered by her outstanding lingering vocals, has
been showcased at some of the trendiest and
musically influential venues in South Africa - The
Grand West Arena, The Assembly, Alba Lounge,
Constantia Nek, Blu-Bar, The Waiting Room, Back 2
Basix, The Cape Farmhouse, Dizzy's, Zula Bar, and
the V&A Waterfront Amphitheatre to name but a few,
as well as some premier music festivals in SA, and
some high profile corporate shows for clients like
Old Mutual and Reeds Motor Group.
Her music career started seriously when an itch to
explore the international music scene lead her to
the United States where she settled for a year in
Aspen, Colorado in 2005. There she began performing
at Aspen's premiere live music venue, Bellyup (www.bellyupaspen.com),
regularly opening for visiting internationally
recognized artists, including the likes of the
acclaimed Grace Potter & The Nocturnals and The
English Beat. This exposure resulted in a
tremendous demand for her talents, and her remaining
time was spent performing as a Fender Musician at
the Winter X Games and Tempe Music Festival in
Arizona, performing on the same stage as many
international artists such as John Mayer and The
Fray, as well as regular appearances on East Coast
Plum TV with the Morning, Noon and Night Show. In
2006, she made her mark on Fender USA when she was
approached to endorse their new range of guitars for
women.

Africans alongside maestro musicians, Charne
Groenmeyer, who accompanies the band on electric
guitar, Tim Price on drums and electric percussion,
the wonderfully talented Simon Van Wyk on the

September 2008 to critical acclaim and had radio
play-listing and live interviews on Highveld 94.7 as
well as KFM 94.5 with a combined listenership of
over 1 million people. The band has also been
recently featured in Juice Magazine (Mango airlines
in-flight magazine), Chew Magazine (One of the
largest online magazines in the world), as well as
articles on Bizcommunity.com, Cape Times, and the
Argus. The band have also managed to have the debut
album internationally marketed on iTunes, Amazon.com,
Rhapsody, Napster, and eMusic - no mean feat for an
independent artist! |

The beginning of 2009 saw the start of
pre-production work on the second album which is
planned to showcase the more rock-orientated, edgier
sound that has developed naturally over the last
year of intensive creative exploration, with one of
the SAs top producers, Theo Crous, coming on board
to add to the magic. These developments have
garnered the attention of some of the top major
record labels in the industry and the band is in the
process of signing a publicity and distribution deal
with one of them. "2009 is all about developing the
sound of the band and finding new and exciting ways
to get the music to our fans", says Louise, "We have
a crazy but awesome year lined up, and we are keen
to take this band to the top!" With their
charismatic nature, natural ability and impressive
following, theres no doubt that this starlet and her
band - pleasing on both the ear and the eye - is
bound to be going places! |
