Steve Dyer and the Confluence Homecoming Tour

Steve Dyer and the Confluence Homecoming Tour

Date: 2015-02-27

Concerts SA Music Mobility Fund proudly supports Steve Dyer & the Confluence Homecoming Tour which comes to five venues in KZN next week

Confluence is Steve Dyer's sixth album under his own name, is a soundscape of diverse influences to mirror how societies are evolving, and how different cultures, belief systems and peoples have increasingly greater interaction with each other.

At the core is the sonic reflection of Steve's journey through his homeland South Africa, and the influences both personal and otherwise that are shaping this journey. Whatever the setting, Steve's intention remains the same: to give a contemporary African voice to improvised and structured music.

Pietermaritzburg born Steve Dyer completed his music degree at University if Durban in 1981. Refusing military conscription, he then left South Africa and stayed in Botswana, the U.K. and Zimbabwe. In 1993 Steve returned to study at Durban music dept. and then relocated to Gauteng where he now resides.

The Confluence tour to KZN is a homecoming after a long absence. Steve says: "Many of the sounds that inform what I compose were and are influenced by the early period in my life. This together with my musical experience since leaving Durban are what I look forward to sharing with KZN audiences. I am grateful to be joined by some young talented musicians, as well as my long-time friend and musical colleague Andile Yenana.

We will be performing music from the recently released "Confluence" project, as well as material from previous albums. Steve Dyer - saxophones, flutes, voice will be joined by musicians Andile Yenana - piano,Mandla Mlangeni - trumpet/flugelhorn, Amaeshi Ikechi - acoustic/electric bass and Lungile Kunene - drums
