RJ at Back o’ the Moon, Gold Reef City every 2nd Thursday
Posted by RJ Benjamin in event on 27 May, 2010
As some of you may know I have just completed my new album entitled House Bound due for release in early June. What you may not know is that I’ll be jumping straight back into studio to begin recording the 2nd half of this chapter in my musical career called Inside: The Soul Interpretations. On Inside, I will be taking all the House trax featured on House Bound & in essence, “Soulifying” them!
So how does this fit into my performances happening at Back O’ The Moon. Well, I will be 1) showcasing the new house trax every 2nd Thursday at Back O’ The Moon in Gold Reef City, 2) it will be a platform for myself & my band to showcase the re-workings of the house trax to you the public, friends & fans.
The 1st Thursday, the 27th May, I’ll be playing 2 new songs within my set. 1 being my 1st single called Into The Stars after which I will perform the re-interpretation with my band & the 2nd song, a song called Love Again. The House version featured my longtime friend Danny K & is the only track on House Bound I produced. Again it will be followed by a re-interpretation with my band.
Pls join me for my Thursday performances at Back O’ The Moon as Fortnightly I will reveal more new trax & each track’s respective “Soulifying”. The show will also retrace my journey through music so far & I will be joined on stage for selected performances by dancers Grant Esterhuizen & Ashley Scott.
So here are the details:

When: Every 2nd Thursday: 27 May, 10th & 24th of June 2010

An intimate evening with RJ Benjamin – 22 October 2009
Posted by RJ Benjamin in event on 11 October, 2009
So, all year I’ve been swept up in house music madness. 1st, Change the World then a host of house tracks followed that. My band have phoned & sms’d from time to time during the year saying “I miss playing with you“ & “when are we playing again?” Naturally most performances have been blazing house tunes with a DJ.
I’ve been dying to get back to my basics & on 22nd October I’ll have that opportunity. I’ll be performing an intimate set accompanied by guitar & percussion playing the songs that have changed my life & maybe yours. The beauty of this night is there is no entrance fee.
So what can you expect? The songs that made me fall in love with music, my own brand of neo-soul which initially featured across the country such as See You In My Dreams, Cry & my cover of Oasis’ Wonderwall, my own versions of songs I wrote & produced for artists ranging from Lira to Danny K, songs from my Metro FM award winning album Swimming in the Soul of Music & acoustic versions of the recent house songs that have dominated SA charts all year!
Come through to Vilamoura Sandton on 22 October for some great food & great music.
To book pls mail Sarah: sarahlynnbenjamin@gmail.com
