ENTERTAINMENT NEWS - Steve Hofmeyr, singer, songwriter, actor, author and activist, has reason to smile.
He has recorded his 30th CD in so many years.
His previous double-platinum release was one of South Africa's bestsellers for 2016 and now his army of supporters can look forward to SKREE, his latest original album for 2018.
"I felt like writing again, and SKREE is the result," he said as he embarked on an quick tour to the Southern Cape and to one of his favourite venues, the Bush Lapa at the Herold's Bay Resort (George), where he will be performing a double-header on Thursday 19 and Friday 20 October.
Owner KD Fourie, who has been hosting shows at the Bush Lapa for the last 10 years, said it is always a privilege to host one of South Africa's most legendary artists and entertainers.
"We host music. We do music and the Bush Lapa is known as the home of music in the Southern Cape. It is all about entertaining, nothing more - and Steve is surely one of the legends of entertainment in South Africa! And this double-header is going to be without a doubt one for the books with his latest album," said Fourie.
He will return home for the publication of his 11th book, a crime novel titled Die Onaantasbares (The Untouchables). This will be his 6th novel.
"Boredom and I are incompatible," says the 53-year-old, who recently became a father again.
His daughter, Romy-lee, his 6th "contribution", was born on 19 June.
"If you thought I was finished, shame on you…," he quipped.
Pretoria-born Steve Hofmeyr has entertained the world for three decades, and his creativity knows no bounds.
It started when he was a young rocker - in movies, musicals and television (Agter elke man, Kampus, No Hero, Dis Hoe Dit Is, Platteland, Pretville, Treurgrond, etc) in the mid-80s, culminating into one of the most enduring Afrikaans acts in history with a powerful and popular presence in 21st century South Africa.
He entertains South Africans in sold-out concerts weekly.
His unforgettable hits, big voice, sense of humour, pithy rants and strong social commentary leaves no stone unturned or person unmoved.
He has fostered a healthy Facebook, Twitter and Instagram following. "I don't need to win. I just need to be heard. And once we master this, I believe in the greatest country on earth, South Africa," said Steve.
