One man, a loop pedal and a touch of genius awaits Durban this April. Anyone who has seen Jeremy Loops perform live will tell you it’s an unforgettable experience – and soon this alt-folk sensation will be wowing the Durban Botanic Gardens during an Old Mutual Music at the Lake concert on Saturday, 11 April 2015.
Performing with a loop pedal and layering tunes to create a wondrous multi-layered soundscape, this one-man band from Cape Town has been setting the local festival circuit alight for the past couple of years.
His lively performances rely on crowd participation as well as skilled collaborators, such as vocalist/rapper Motheo Moleko and Jamie Faull on saxophone and drums. Inspired by legends such as Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan but bringing a distinctly modern twist to his folk sound, Loops’s ingenious sonic mash-ups will blow you away.
He recently released his debut album, Trading Change, has been enthusiastically received – and now Durban audiences can experience a true original in action during a sunset picnic concert at the idyllic botanical gardens.
“Autumn in Durban is a glorious time of year, perfect for families to enjoy the natural beauty of the gardens while taking in a music act who is as original as he is remarkable,” says Bandile Mngoma, sponsorship manager for Old Mutual. “This concert with the multi-talented Jeremy Loops is set to be a truly memorable one.”
Bring your cooler boxes, picnic baskets and blankets and prepare to wind down with this unusual act that will delight and inspire. Refreshments will also be on sale, and children can enjoy added entertainment in the supervised Kidzone.

Totally loopy about Mr Loops 🙂 #favesong #sinner!
My absolute favorite song from Jeremy Loops is Power. It is such a meaningful song and sharing the kids from the Fulton school for the deaf perform with them was an incredible experience that will stay with me for ever. Jeremy Loops not only is an amazingly talented musician who has mastered many instruments but he is also an amazing example of how people should be, he is a caring heart who not only cares for people around him but also for the environment.
I absolutely LOVE when he performs Row Row Your Boat getting the crowd involved! Nothing more rad than being able to see Mr. Loops in action at the Bot Gardens. *fingers crossed*
My absolute fave song from Mr. Loops is “Power”! It truly is a powerful song with a beautiful message.
