Verity
Verity & The Shades are a band set to
take SA by storm.
Their
pop/rock music
"ignites that 'umph', that 'hell ya!', that
'this is awesome!' feeling in people" and has
a distinctive African flavour with universal
appeal that gets
audiences up and dancing with them at every
show.
Verity & The Shades features
singer/songwriter Verity and top musos Tony Paco
from Mozambique on drums, Nelson Malela from
Congo on keyboards, Aldert Du Toit from SA on
guitar & Helder Gonzaga from Mozambique on bass.
This meeting of musicians from across the
continent has resulted in a band,
that while diverse in its influences manages,
to deliver "pop rock songs with a
flavour of Johnny Clegg strum
guitar, Suvuka drumming & tamer version of a mix
of Jewel & Shakira vocals." (Issue 2, Music
Review).
Verity has won The Catch A Rising Star competition
in Florida; been awarded a US working visa as an
artist of outstanding ability; performed to capacity
audiences in Nashville & New York; established
herself as a nationally know SA artist; become an
ambassador for women empowerment; been
internationally recognized for innovation in the
music industry and is an inspirational speaker. |
