South African acoustic gutarist Guy Buttery’s new album Fox Hill Lane was launched on Thursday at the National Arts Festival in Grahamstown.

South African acoustic gutarist Guy Buttery’s new album Fox Hill Lane was launched on Thursday at the National Arts Festival in Grahamstown.

He explains this album as a "diverse record" and says there is no better way to launch an album than at the National Arts Festival. Buttery has collaborated with 25 different musicians, including Nibs Van der Spuy, who is also performing at the Festival.

He grew up in a small town along the North Coast of Kwa-Zulu Natal has been a strong attraction nationally and internationally. His stirring live shows consist of idiosyncratic guitar pieces and sitar improvisations which draw from numerous influences and explore vast and varied soundscapes.At the tender age of 18, Buttery released his highly acclaimed debut album When I Grow Up…, – all original compositions.

It was nominated for both Best Instrumental Album of the Year and Best Newcomer for 2002 by the South African Music Awards (SAMA). Guy has also performed at a number of successful international tours such as the Australia Big Day Out festival in 2008, Acoustic Festival of Great Britain and New York’s Long Island Festival all in the same year. He explains this as a "hairy" and busy year for him as he performed in over a 100 shows.

His exposure to a variety of music and artists has influenced his unique style which has been dubbed as fingerstyle. His Festival performance will include songs from all his albums and Jesse Clegg, son of the famous Johnny, will be performing alongside the maestro. Catch Guy Buttery at the Cuervo Music Room.
