Manny Walters
This performance is part of the showcase that starts on Wednesday, March 15at Esther's Follies
Manny Walters is a distinct South African singer-songwriter and performing artist, with influences rooted deeply in rhythm and blues, indie & alternative rock, hip hop and soul music. The artist may describe his sound as ‘electric rhythm & blues/ alternative soul’, but, whatever designation you choose to apply, one thing is clear – Manny Walters is imbued with an intuitive and instinctive musicality that is rare indeed in its authenticity and gravitas. Walters delivers his intelligently poised lyricism with the kind of passionate, soulful intensity that is as timeless in its ambition as it is inspirational in its contemporary appeal, the grit-flecked, raw soul of his voice profoundly resonant in its ability to captivate the listener. Walters is the kind of emerging artist who will readily find favor with those who desire music that appeals to the conscience just as easily as it satisfies the soul.
