Ard Matthews – First Offerings

Ard Matthews, who’s recently released debut solo album First Offerings, will be performing live at Gateway Barnyard Theatre on August 6^th 2012.

Best known as the front man of local band Just Jinger and undoubtedly recognised as one of South Africa’s most prolific singer/songwriters, Ard made the decision to pursue a solo album in 2010 and dedicated himself to writing new material while travelling across the country and the world, drawing on experience, themes and thoughts making way for First Offerings.

“This album has been a diary of my life in a way. It is a musical depiction of where I've been over the last couple of years, and I'm really excited to share it with you all. I hope that the public are ready to listen to raw, unpretentious, brutally honest music, because that is what this is about “ says Ard of the album. "It also turns out that the general theme is love again, I guess that's just me – no point in changing that now, right? While trends and fashions come and go, love always prevails.”
