FEATURING:
--------------------
--------------------
Sarah Blake
--------------------
Sarah Blake is a Cape Town-born vocalist, multi instrumentalist, and composer whose genre-blending music draws from jazz, soul, folk, and groove traditions. Whether anchoring the rhythm on upright bass or delivering searing vocals from behind a guitar, Sarah leads with disarming charm and fierce musicality.
Her live sets are emotional journeys filled with poetic lyrics, lush harmonies, deep grooves, and spontaneous improvisation. With every performance, Sarah Blake offers more than just music—she offers presence, poetry, and groove that audiences carry long after the final note.
Out Of Place (released April 2026) is a deeply personal journey—one that explores belonging, displacement, transformation, and connection. Each song is woven with stories, emotions, and reflections from my own life, as well as the themes that have shaped me: resilience, communication, release, and renewal.

MobeyDick
--------------------
Jasper Dick is a singer/songwriter based in Cape Town, South Africa. A jack-of-all-trades, he loves to create original songs in a wide variety of styles from folk and rock to blues and kwela, whatever can be used to elicit an emotional response. The lyrical content of the songs is equally varied with themes of politics, war, love, and heartbreak, mixed with more upbeat and humorous numbers. Jasper also loves to interpret covers to suit a stripped-back acoustic performance.
Claire Mobey is a Capetonian singer and has been writing her own songs, on her old nylon-string guitar, since the age of 13. Based on life experience, Claire’s songs are written from the heart, and range from being the heartbroken one to breaking her own hearts along the way, with some rock-and-roll mixed in just for good measure!
Jasper and Claire started collaborating as MobeyDick in 2021, after years of promising to meet up and jam. Friends since pre-school, it’s taken decades, a mutual love of music, and a global pandemic to finally get these playground friends on stage together.
--------------------
