"If there's music inside of you, you've got to let it out." (From my song, Music Inside of Me)

Hi! I'm Trudy Rushin, and this is my blog, created in June 2009. I am a singer-songwriter-composer who plays guitar. Born and bred in Cape Town, South Africa, I blog about whatever captures my imagination or moves me. Sometimes I even come up with what I like to call 'the Rushin Solution'. Enjoy my random rantings. Comment, if you like,
or find me on Facebook: Trudy Rushin, Singer-Songwriter.

I also do gigs - solo, duo or trio - so if you're looking for vocal-guitar jazz music to add a sprinkle of magic to your event, send me an e-mail to guitartrudy@gmail.com.

Trio concert at Baran's: Sun 1 Dec at 4:30pm

On Sunday 1 December, I'll be doing a trio concert at Baran's Kurdish Restaurant. This exotic venue has been the location of three of my concerts and quite a few other gigs. Located at 36 Burg Street, in the city centre of Cape Town (in fact, right on Greenmarket Square), it is a gem of a place; well worth a visit.

The line-up for this concert: KEITH TABISHER (guitar), VALENTINO EUROPA (bass) and I (voice, guitar)
.
We'll be doing some of my original songs, some original instrumental pieces by Keith, as well as a few covers that we particularly love.

Tickets cost R100 and include a light meal. Drinks are NOT included in the ticket price.

To purchase tickets, you may contact me via this blog, my e-mail address (guitartrudy@gmail.com) or my Facebook Musician page:

In fact, keep checking my Facebook muso page for updates.

This concert is the second in a series of fundraisers for "Getting Summer to Thailand", a project aimed at enabling my daughter, Summer, to go to Thailand with their school next year. Our previous concert was on 11 August. I'd hoped to have the second one in October, but got so busy with other things, that 1 December was the soonest we could realistically hold the next one. Concerts are not cake sales - a whole lot of behind-the- scenes work goes on.  A WHOLE LOT!

I'm really looking forward to working with these two fine musicians, and hope to be performing to a full house. It's a cosy venue, so we're looking at 60 - 70 people. Ticket sales are going well, so please don't wait too long to contact me to reserve yours, as they might be sold out by then. Just contact me, and I'll set them aside for you. Capetonians have a reputation for leaving everything to the last minute. Am I right?  :-)
