New Cape Town band Slow
Jack has caught the attention of music lovers and media at the annual Up
the Creek Music Festival near Swellendam in January. It was their second gig as
a band and they filled a main stage slot on the Saturday of the festival with
fresh, catchy tunes and exuberant charm. Their debut single ‘Love to Dream’ was
released to national radio in January and is now available for FREE DOWNLOAD

The band also filmed and recorded a live version of 'Love To
Dream’. Watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mtaZDec1NA
The members of Slow Jack are: Hannes Muller (vocals and
guitar), Jayme van Tonder (vocals and violin), Jeandre Schultz (lead guitar),
Andre van der Merwe (bass) and Adrian Fowler (Drums.)
‘Love to Dream’ is a story that people can relate to and was
stringed out by Hannes and Jayme early one Saturday morning in Sea Point. Each
band member then contributed something notable to the final architecture and
unique sound of the song during rehearsals.
Muller comments on the making of the single: “Writing is
emotional for us. The experience sets the mood; the lyrics tell the story and
what follows sets the scene. Although the initial songwriting may take only a
few minutes, it is the refinement that take hours or even days. All in all hard
work, but we have a lot of fun while doing it.”
The idea of a live studio video was born soon after the song
was recorded. Muller adds: “Whilst people do dream in colour, we decided to
shoot the video in ‘black and white’ as we felt it would reflect the mood of
the song so much better.”
