Tony Bird

Tuesday, May 6, 2008 - 8:30pm

Born of British parents in Malawi, Tony Bird is a self-taught singer and guitarist whose travels have taken him to Britain, the Mediterranean, the Persian Gulf and all over Southern Africa. Influenced by rock, jazz, and blues, Tony has also absorbed the indigenous rhythms and tones of his native Africa. What perhaps is unusual is the view of South African society expressed in his songs. Tony Bird writes his songs in solidarity with black Africans and their struggle against oppression.
