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.

Saturday 8th August - gig with ALVIN DYERS

The only constant in life is change.

So,... this Saturday, 8 August, I will be doing the Food Lover's Market gig, not with Wayne Bosch, but with guitarist, Alvin Dyers. Alvin was my teacher during two phases of my music journey, the second as recent as the first half of 2008. He's an accomplished musician, well-liked in local circles, and he's the guitarist who played on my demo CD, "At Last", recorded in November 1997, where I did four of my originals with a jazz band. In January 1998, I did a set at the Jazzathon, at the V&A Waterfront, appearing with the same band. I guess flexibiity is a good thing, no matter what field you're in, and I'm looking forward to working with Alvin at this gig.

I'll be updating my gig ad on a weekly basis, announcing my duo partner for each of the Saturdays in August. On the 22nd, though, I'll definitely be appearing with Wayne.

If you're in the mood, and you want to catch us from 7 - 10pm, to quote a local jazz singer I went to listen to recently, "stiek yt".
