THE MISSISSIPPI DELTA IS CALLING (AGAIN) !

A message from Guenter “Soul Man” Nerlich:

I am utterly overwhelmed, thrilled, and honestly a little speechless.
My latest show, “THE MISSISSIPPI & ME,” has been officially selected for the prestigious Hilton Arts Festival 2026!

After an incredible, sold-out performance at this year’s Clarens Arts Festival, taking this show to Hilton feels like a massive step into the heart of the South African cultural, arts & music scene. More than twenty years after leaving behind a successful music career in Switzerland, I can truly say: I have arrived again.
I cannot wait to step up to this challenge, and I owe a massive debt of gratitude to everyone who has walked this path with me. Thank you to all my incredible supporters, and a huge thank you to my friends in Clarens and beyond. Your energy keeps the music alive.
Come share this milestone with us! I’ll be joined on stage by my brilliant friend and special guest, Heinrich “Slide Cat” Pelser, bringing to you a mean, muddy, authentic Mississippi slide guitar.
We have 3 shows lined up across the festival weekend: 2. Shows on Saturday, August 8 & a matinee show on Sunday, August 9, 2026. Tickets are available soon. If you can find the time, please join us. Let’s make some magic. The Blues is Life.

Rock’n’Roll, y’all!
