Brendon Shields - Rockstardom South African Film Documentary
Encounters South African International Documentary Festival shared the following link and had this to say about it: “‘Rockstardom’ is one of the South African films to look out for at Encounters 2012. It tells the unlikely and heart-warming story of Brendon Shields, a singer-songwriter from Bethlehem in the Free Sate. After years of writing and recording demos, Shields landed a publishing deal for his debut record “Truth and Recession“. His songs deal confidently with both and with the hope and heartbreak of growing up in a small town, “where rockstardom is the only option left”. Rolling Stone called him “one of the best wordsmiths working in contemporary music globally” and his songs a “plaintive sketch of artistic life on the breadline by a songwriter of majestic simplicity”.” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPjnbFC9J1o&feature=youtu.be

Nate Maingard: Seasons
Nate Maingard on Seasons: “Seasons started off as an idea about a love affair between winter and summer, how they dance around one another but can never touch. Then it turned into a celebration of everything, just an all-out song of wild abandon man.”

SA Guitarist Magazine on Brendon Shields
Great interview with Brendon Henry Shields in today’s SA Guitarist Magazine http://www.saguitarist.co.za/sa-bands-and-musos/interview-with-brendon-shields/#comment-529
I do believe Music is the highest form of art. Music is an absolutely fundamental quality of the universe… Music is omniscient - a quality that echoes across space and time. The entire cosmos is a musical situation and all artistic and scientific endeavours tend towards music. All life aspires to the state of music. Music is a mystery, pure abstraction, calling from deep to deep.. Music can make hearts beat faster and cause tears to flow. Music is the universal language of our world…harmony - the resting place of our consciousness. We are the music makers… We are the dreamers of dreams…
