Hey friends,
Life seems to roll by so fast! It is almost time again for what has
become our yearly Cape Tour. We'll kick things off in Grahamstown on
Tuesday 23rd September, arriving in Cape Town on 29th September, with a final show on Wednesday
8th October at a private house in East London on route back to Durban,
so if you're in the Cape we'd really love to connect at one of the shows
along the way!
This year has been quite an
amazing ride so far - being nominated for a SAMA award for 'Ocean of
Milk', our first performance at Oppikoppi as well as two shows in Durban
with one of our top singer/songwriters, USA artist Willy Mason.
We'd also like to thank you for your incredible support - we do this for
you and the reciprocation we experience at our live shows is what keeps
us keeping on!
The tour dates are listed in the banner above and also to the right of the blog (under tour dates)
as always, big love from the brothers!

Aden & Wren
Two years in the making, Hinds Brothers debut 'Ocean of Milk' has become an album of the heart with a living tale. Produced by the brothers themselves, the album was recorded in no less than 7 studios in Durban, Johannesburg, Cape Town and Pretoria, and features 19 of South Africa's top musicians. It was mixed by SAMA award winning producer Dan Roberts and mastered in New York by Alan Douches (Sufjan Stevens, Roky Erikson).
'Ocean of Milk' has a wholly cohesive depth to it that resonates with the great albums of yore, while brothers Aden and Wren Hinds' beautiful songwriting and arrangements are artfully complimented by the lush and acoustically textured production. The harmonic resonance of the two distinct voices, together with their reflective and honest lyrical sensibility communicates true profundity - bringing meaning and nourishment to an art form that has been somewhat neglected in recent times.
