Eric Clapton Tribute : Peter Hoven – Wednesday January 4, 2012

Tribute to Eric Clapton

Produced by singer/songwriters Peter Hoven and Natalie Chapman, this excellent production promises a night of pure Clapton pleasure! The show not only exposes the amazing talent of Mr Clapton, but also tells the stories behind the music!

A man who struggled with drug and alcohol addiction, who had sordid love affairs and throughout it all has been a prolific songwriter and guitar god to many generations. The Eric Clapton “Slowhand” Tribute Show brings his music to life and tells the story of a man who faced many challenges but was always sure of one thing: The Music

The Show is performed by some of SA’s great musical talents. Peter Hoven who performs as Eric Clapton has been invited along with Gerald Clark and Henry Steel to perform as the First South African Blues Band to ever take part in the International Blues Challenge in Memphis in January 2012.

People who have seen the show have said that Hoven’s portrayal of Clapton and his music is so close to the original, they have to remind themselves that they are in fact sitting in SA and not The Royal Albert Hall and that the musicians in front of them are indeed local grown talent and not the legends that have worked with Eric Clapton over the years!

Natalie Chapman adds the female touch to the show with her phenomenal vocals and charismatic story-telling. Actress/Singer-Songwriter/Radio DJ Chapman has had great success with her original music as well as lead performances in The Full Monty, The Rivonia Trial, Soapie Scandal and many more. Her theatre background along with 10 years as a full time musician has equipped her as a consummate performer.

Backed up by some of SA’s Top Session Musicians, this show is truly a world class production!

With performances at Emperor’s Palace, Villa Pascal, The Performer Theatre, Potters Place and many more the show will now be gracing the stage at the Brand New, World Class Atterbury Theatre for one night only! An up close and personal experience for Clapton fans they will never forget!

The Show covers songs from Clapton’s “Cream” Days all the way through to his solo career including his blues releases. Songs being performed include: “Layla”, “Cocaine”, “Wonderful Tonight”, “Before you Accuse me”, “I Shot the Sherriff”, “White Room”, “Riding with the King”, “Tears in Heaven” and so much more.
