Guenter Nerlich @ Clarens Arts Festival 2026

New show premiers on 26 April 2026 at the Arts Festival in Clarens

It’s official – Lekker Soul’s artist to premiere his new show in April 2026. Get ready to soak up the creative vibes at the Clarens Arts Festival, happening from 24–27 April 2026. Tucked beneath the iconic sandstone Rooiberge, this is where the mountain magic meets the Mississippi delta!

“The Mississippi and Me” with Guenter Nerlich

Take a front-row seat on a high-octane musical pilgrimage from the neon lights of Memphis’ Beale Street to the vibrant heart of New Orleans’ French Quarter. In this soul-stirring travelogue, based on my travels in the deep South of the United States, experience the deep-rooted sounds that shaped my musical identity—a journey through the very DNA of the American South.

Feel the power of Memphis Soul and the haunting echoes of the Mississippi Delta, where the spirits of Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, and BB King still linger in every chord. As the road winds south, immerse yourself in the swampy, rich Zydeco rhythms of Louisiana and the unmistakable “Big Easy” piano grooves of Fats Domino and Dr. John.

To turn up the heat, this show features “spicy hot” collaborations with surprise guest artists, delivering one-of-a-kind performances you won’t find anywhere else. Don’t miss this unforgettable show of storytelling and sound—it’s more than a concert; it’s a revival of the music that changed the world.

Age Restrictions: None

Ticket Note: Food and beverages will be available at the venue at your own expense. Tickets available here.
