A blank canvas. An empty page. Total musical expression. This is the blues blueprint which forms the creed of the Violent Free Peace, a loose collective of similarly-minded musicians who back the veteran South African guitarist Basson Laubscher.
Laubscher hails from Stellenbosch, continuing the rich musical legacy of the town that has spawned some of the country’s most beloved and critically acclaimed musicians, many of whom have shared a stage, a tent, a kombi and festival stage with Laubscher.
Laubscher’s musical influences and styles are diverse, ranging from Hendrix to Cash, rock to blues, English to Afrikaans. His professional musical career started when he jammed with Bertie Coetzee at school in the first incarnation of what would become Zinkplaat, a road-tested Afrikaans rock band who played hundreds of gigs from the West Coast to London during a decade-long career.
Laubscher has performed alongside countless top names at countless festivals.He has also done session work on numerous albums including for Valiant Swart, Ann Jangle and Ryno Velvet. He continues to play with Swart, both in the full band setup and two-man acoustic performances.
His debut full-length album, Testify, is set to stun audiences with it’s one of a kind sound fusions.
Taking the best from blues, rock, and country and adding his staple voodoo swamp sounds, Laubscher has created a long-awaited masterpiece that is ready to set stages alight!
