“The music could speak volumes more, but the man, Albert Frost is a veritable living legend at 30 and fondly dubbed “SA’s best blues guitarist” by way too many people to be denied a bit of hero worship” – Jess Mitrani – Levi’s Music Mag 2008 This young legend has been rocking the Blues for two decades! Uptown got to know him mostly alongside SA Rocker, Arno Carstens. They played all over the world alongside the Rolling Stones, REM & Simple Minds to name a few. A celebrated guitarist, who has affected success to the albums of many great artists, is loved by crowds all over the world and is now a popular solo musician. Albert Frost recently launched his latest solo album, Devils and Gods and also recently won the South African leg of the Doritos Be Heard competition with his song, Television. What sets Albert apart is that he is an all-round master guitarist with a passion for music that reflects passion and brilliance over any audience and for lovers of all genres – is loved all over the world and effects success into the albums of many artists such as Karen Zoid, Valiant Swart, Koos Kombuis and for many years together with rocker, Arno Carstens. Don’t miss the critically acclaimed skill of this guitarist live in PE, regarded by many as South Africa’s best blues guitarist.
