Happiness in Waves with Jeremy Loops
Jeremy Loops fans need to prick up those ears, as we have some great news! This SA music legend is making his way to our valley on 2 September to perform live at Franschhoek Cellar. It’s no secret that South Africans love a hero and Jeremy Loops is our ultimate ambassador. From cult live-act status in his hometown Cape Town, to topping charts and touring internationally, this man and his music have become the soundtrack to many a feel-good memory for us all. It was only after two years of travelling the world after college, that latecomer to music Loops, became committed to pursuing a career in music. Not just an incredible musician, Loops is also co-founder of tree planting organisation Greenpop, and he uses his platform to shine the spotlight on our mother city with ambitions of helping bring South African music to the world. In a career characterised by breaking through glass ceilings, 2015 saw Jeremy opening for Twenty One Pilots, headline a sold out 30,000-ticket tour of his own, and release his most notable single Down South – breaking through in major European territories and elsewhere around the world.

His new album Critical as Water is a tribute to his love of the ocean. Led by the acclaimed single Waves, this album sets out to make some waves of its own. “My music’s always really been a time capsule of what I was going through when I wrote it. I just remember spending every second I could get in the ocean over the last 18 months. At first I thought I was just running away from the pressure of making this album, but the water and surfing helped me focus and relax; and only once I began making time to be back out there did writing the music start becoming more natural.” Selling out shows is what Loops specializes in and if ever there was a time to drink wine and listen to sweet melodies it is now!
