nHy was nog altyd aangetrokke tot die musiek van Chuck Berry en die ou rock 'n roll pioneers. Hy’t altyd na B.B. King en Muddy Waters geluister en later ook na Rodriguez en Bob Dylan. Deesdae luister hy graag na Ben Harper, Stevie Ray Vaughn en ZZ Top. Plaaslik is die CD’s van Anton Goosen, Piet Botha en Gian Groen nooit ver weg nie.
nNa skool het Jan vir hom 'n pawnshop special acoustic gekoop. Met die sy algehele haat van conformity ontdek en die wortels van rock 'n roll en Blues begin explore.
nDie Lugmag was iets om te doen na skool, waar hy by Elektroniese Kommunikasie aangesluit het en daar het hy tyd gemaak om homself leer kitaar speel. Vyf jaar in die lugmag was genoeg van conformity en het hy ‘n loopbaan in Inligtingstegnologie begin.
nIn 2002 begin sy musiek aftrek kry en word hy heeltyds sanger/musikant. Twee van sy liedjies is op Volk Jou! by Wildebeest Records opgeneem en in daardie tyd het hy ook die wereld van klank ingeneur begin baas raak.
nJan Blohm se debuutalbum, Melkstraat Confessions, het in 2004 verskyn. Hierdie album het met die 2005 GMT-Toekennings die kollig gesteel toe dit te midde van sterk kompetisie met drie van die vernaamste toekennings weggestap het. Die GMT was ‘n SABC 2-inisiatief en word in die tyd as die belangrikste seremonie in die Afrikaanse musiekbedryf beskou. 'Album van die Jaar' is aan hierdie debuut toegeken en Breyten se Brief word as “Liedjie van die Jaar” aangewys. Verder is Jan as 'Beste Nuweling' van dieselfde jaar aangewys.
nJan Blohm is geseen met vele talente en in 2005 nader die bekende Suid Afrikaanse TV direkteur, Frans Marx, vir Jan om die hoofrol in ‘n Afrikaanse dramareeks vir KykNet, “Dit wat stom is” te speel. Jan skryf ook die lirieke en komponeer die titelmusiek, “Dromer”, vir die reeks.
nJan het ontvang in Oktober 2005 die Huisgenoot Tempo Toekenning vir “Die Beste Rock Groep”.
nJan se tweede album, '‘n Stille Runaway', is in Januarie 2006 opgeneem en al die liedjies is self deur Jan geskryf en gekomponeer. “Dromer” die titelmusiek vir die dramareeks “Dit wat stom is”, is ook op hierdie album te hoor. '‘n Stille Runaway' bied ‘n verskeidenheid musiekstyle wat strek van rock na blues, van ballades tot ligte jazz. ‘n Verrassing op die album is dat Jan selfs klavier kan speel wat gehoor kan word in twee van die liedjies: “Ja ma” en “Vanoggend Van Gogh”. Die musiekvideo van die liedjie “In wens” is opgeneem tydens die opname van hierdie album in Clarens in die Vrystaat.
nJan se derde CD getiteld Groen Trui is in November 2006 met 'n groot gejuig bekendgestel by die Performer Teater in Pretoria. Die CD bevat (natuurlik) sy gelyknamige treffer wat bekend geraak het met die bekende TV reeks 'Orion' en 'n paar liedtjies wat gereelde gaste by sy lewendige optedes reeds sal herken. 'n Nuwe rock-weergawe van Sondag-lover” maak sy verskyning en na jare se wag is Johnny K, Jan se tribute aan Johannes Kerkorrel, Jimi Hendrix en ander musiekmeersters, uiteindelilk opgeneem.
nJan het ondanks sterk kompetisie twee Huisgenoot Tempo Toekennings in 2007 ontvang, naamlik Gunsteling Rockalbum vir Groen Trui en weereens vir Gunsteling Rockgroep.
nNovember 2007 verskyn Jan se DVD, ‘Live at the Performer'. Die opname is gemaak tydens die bekendstelling van ‘Groen Trui’ by die Performer Teater.
nJan het ook in 2008 ‘n suksesvolle reis na London gehad waar hy in die Aardvark opgetree het! En toe natuurlik in Beijing, China. Jan was die 1ste Suid Afrikaanse kunstenaar wat in China opgetree het en het nie net Suid Afrikaners se siele gevoed nie, maar ook Chinese, Kanadese en die Ambasadeur van Suid Afrika s’n! Die geleentheid het plaasgevind met die opening van die Suid Afrikaanse restaurant, Pinotage. Dit was ook die finale geleentheid van die vieringe wat plaasgevind het waar die SA Embassy tesame met die SA Business verskeie geleenthede gehou het in viering van die 10 jaar herdenking van diplomatiese bande tussen Suid Afrika en China, wat saamgeval het met SA National Freedom Day vieringe.
nHy was met die 14de jaarlikse SAMA toekenningsaand bekroon met ‘n toekenning in die kategorie ‘Beste Afrikaanse DVD van die Jaar’. Die geleentheid was op 2 en 3 Mei gehou by Sun City. Jan was ongelukkig nie self daar om die toekenning te ontvang nie, weens sy optredes in Beijing.
nIn Mei 2009 stel Jan sy album 7 Jaar bekend wat met groot lof en waardeering in die publiek, asook in die media en in die musiekbedryf ontvang word. Jan word in dieselfde jaar vereer met ‘n Rapport VAMT (Vonk Afrikaanse Musiek Toekenning) vir 7 Jaar as die Beste Rock Album van die jaar. Jan ontvang ook in 2010 ‘n SAMA toekenning hiervoor vir Gewildste Afrikaanse Rock Album; asook twee Huisgenoot Tempo Toekennings vir Gewilde Rock Album en Alternatiewe Musiekvideo van die jaar saam met MK (Rosie).
nDie nommer sewe is 'n heilige nommer wat volledig, vol en perfek beteken – simbolies van die voltooiing van 'n siklus. Met die uitreiking van Jan Blohm se tweede DVD in sy sewende jaar as verhoogkunstenaar, durf dié simboliek nie die kyker verbygaan nie. Het hy nie juis al 'n album met die amper profetiese titel 7 Jaar die lig laat sien nie?
nLotus: Live DVD is in Junie 2011 in Die Liedjieboer, Midrand, voor 'n gehoor opgeneem en is 'n toonbeeld van die rockdigter en verhoogfilosoof se verbysterende talent, wat hy vir die heel eerste keer in 2004 met die Suid-Afrikaanse publiek gedeel het.
nDié intieme konsert is 'n samekoms van gunsteling-liedjies van CD’s soos Melkstraat Confessions, 7 Jaar en Stille Runaway, maar is veel meer as net 'n goue gerf treffers. Dit sluit ook twee splinternuwe skeppings – Ruby en Ons huisie – in.
nLotus is soos 'n kuier-aand saam met Blohm, terwyl hy omring is deur van die land se voorste musikante. Van Anton L’Amour (op kitaar) en Riaan Diedericks tot Chrismari Nel en Martin Labuschagne deel die verhoog met hom, terwyl Brenda Biddulph en Elrine Spies die agtergrondsang verskaf.
nBlohm is spitsvondig en selfs satiries, met komiese stekies wat mildelik uitgedeel word. Hy noem byvoorbeeld dat hy altyd gedink het dat mense wat hemel toe gaan, Potchefstroom toe gaan... Totdat hy besef het hulle gaan eintlik Stellenbosch toe!
nDie titel van Blohm se tweede DVD het verskeie betekenisse, op verskillende vlakke. Die lotus is die enigste blom wat in vuil, modderige water ver van die son groei en dan met 'n onaantasbare skoonheid verras. Vir Blohm is dit 'n metafoor vir die lewe. “Dit maak nie saak hoe sleg en moeilik 'n mens se lewensomstandighede is nie, 'n mens het steeds die vermoë om uit te styg en een van die mooiste blomme te wees,” vertel die sanger met die skerp tong en pen.
nDie digter Breyten Breytenbach was sedert Blohm se jeug 'n besonderse inspirasie. Breytenbach het in die jare 70 'n digbundel getitel Lotus onder die skuilnaam Jan Blom gepubliseer. Vandaar dat Blohm die karakter Jan Blohm aangeneem het en as sy verhoogpersona gekies het. Liedjies soos Groen trui en Breyten se brief is dus deel van die DVD-konsert om hierdie rolmodel te huldig.
nJan stel Augustus 2012 sy sewende solo-album Ruby bekend. Jan het die afgelope vier jaar aan die album se liedjies geskryf en geskaaf. Ruby was opgeneem in Jan se eie opname-ateljee, Blomhuis Studios in Pretoria. Hy was self die produksieleier en aan sy sy was die kitaarspeler, Jon Buckley, wat ook mede-liedjieskrywer op van die liedjies was.
While keeping one foot firmly planted in the blues, Gerald stepped outside traditional music boundaries. His acoustic Afrikaans album ‘Sweepslag’ (‘Whiplash’) was nominated as the best Afrikaans Alternative Music Album at the 2009 SAMA (South African Musicians & Artists) awards. Huisgenoot’s Tempo awards nominated Gerald for the Best Newcomer and Best Kopskuif (‘Headbopping’) Album, and the Vonk awards were quick to follow suit with nominations for the Best Newcomer, Crossover & Alternative categories.
In 2010, Sweepslag was followed by the gentler ‘Blues and Love Songs’, as well as nationwide gigs and international performances at the Big Wheel Blues Fest on the Isle of Man and the Ain’t Nothing But The Blues Bar in London. In 2011, Gerald wrote and composed ‘Marry Me’, the official song for South African Wedding Week and ‘As the Crow Flies’ with Theo Crous for the Volkswagen Amarok campaign.
Clark’s second and third album was an international success. Black Water and Follow the River was praised by the media, fans, made it to the airwaves, and left many a venue pleading for more. Black Water, gave him a taste of international success when the title track’s music video was nominated for an MTV Europe Animation Award.
His 4th album, AfroBoer & the GoldenGoose was recorded in an old farmhouse with some of the country’s best musicians that shared his dynamic musical ideas. It’s raw, it’s blues, it’s rock, it is a piece of his honesty. The diversity within this album will shake your bones and burn your toes.
Look out for his 5th studio album, Afrocoustic, recorded with South African drumming legend Barry van Zyl.
BAD PETER is a folk rock duo made up of PG Badenhorst and Alwyn Bekker.
The two first met at a performing arts company, and even though their musical partnership didn’t start immediately, it wasn’t long before BAD PETER was born. Alwyn first went to work in Thailand for 9 months, playing shows weekly with PG doing the exact same thing in South Africa. Upon Alwyn’s return the two realised that together they could create something special.
They say: “We really wanted to pick a name that has a meaning for the both of us.” So they played around with various combinations of song lyrics, where they’d lived and their names and surnames… They eventually stumbled upon Bad Peter by using PG's surname which is (Bad)enhorst and Alwyn's middle name, Petrus(Peter).
BAD PETER released their highly anticipated debut single ‘Month of May’ in April 2015 and within 24 hours secured themselves a Top 30 single on the iTunes Chart in South Africa. Their 5-track EP, LET GO, was released in November 2015 and reached the Top 20 on the iTunes chart in South Africa. The duo found inspiration for their debut offering in day-to-day struggles and experiences and the influences of Country, Folk and Blues are evident in tracks like ‘Month of May’ and ‘On This River’ other tracks like ‘Brother’ explores African guitar sounds combined with melodic rapping and a theme of living together in this beautiful diverse country of ours. Their third single ‘Faithful Lover’ is a song about a one night stand, disguised as a love song! As a live act they quickly became in demand and gigged relentlessly, playing at major festivals in South Africa.
“We don't like to limit ourselves to a specific genre. Being singer-songwriters gives us that freedom” says PG. “You'll hear country, Latin, blues, African, pop and reggae sounds in our songs. We prefer writing songs that can make people dance, groove and feel good!”
BAD PETER is an energetic band that really has a passion for jamming, performing and making music live! They often tell one another if neither one of their guitars break during this performance they're not giving it their all. This might sound like a strange thing to hear from guys playing acoustic but they love putting all their energy into performing, and that’s what makes them such a joy to watch.
According to the band, “It's been the raddest, funnest 2 years of our lives and we couldn't be happier. A thought that really blows our minds is that we've just started and we have no idea and can't wait to see what happens!”
