A songwriter, a vocalist and a drummer make up the trio known as RAT. This local acoustic trio consists of Ray Seedfeldt, Anesh Morar and Tania Ott, and their purpose is to have fun. Their harmonic vocals, touching tunes and casual attitude make listening to them blissful.
Their music ranges from cover songs to original tracks that go from ‘heartfelt serenades’ to ‘foot-stomping belters’. When listening to RAT, what is guaranteed is that you’ll either end up singing along or dancing around.
Opening up for RAT are singer Shannon Grellmann and guitarist Simon Celliers, making up Shannon & Simon. Shannon is an up-and-coming English and Afrikaans singer/musician. In 2013 she recorded her first demo CD, ‘Humble Beginnings’, with Groove Studio in Windhoek and Traxtudios in South Africa.
‘Humble Beginnings’ consists of 15 cover songs. Simon and Shannon first performed together this year at the World Music Day at Palmtree Park. Together they perform music that ranges from country to acoustic pop. According to Shannon, “…music truly expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent”.
RAT and Shannon & Simon will be performing on Friday, 28 November, at the FNCC Terrace.
Tickets are N$30 in advance and N$50 at the door. The show starts at 20h00.
