The Eastern
Cape's Own
bluesman.
Rob Thompson plays the kind of blues you feel in your ribs. Born and raised in Gqeberha, he's spent the better part of two decades dragging blues licks, slide guitar and Mississippi grit across every stage from speakeasies to festival main stages up and down the Eastern Cape.
“The blues isn't just music — it's a conversation between the guitar and the soul.”
