André recalls songs of his favourite singer-songwriters who inspired him to become a musician. He relives his journey from the 60's up to now. Come and experience his versions of songs by Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Cat Stevens, Paul Simon and Peter Sarstedt - including his own works.

His new album introduces a new beginning in his career. As songwriter, arranger and producer, he upped his game. "ALL I REALLY WANT" is a listener-friendly album with energetic Folk-Rock songs (Going Down & Ready to Go), witty Country (All I Really Want), Afrikaans Rock-Ballad (Al Moet Ek Soms), up-tempo finger-picking (Blommekind), Bluesy vibe (Ex-lover), powerful ballads like Who Will Restore and Jetset Babe.

The song-arrangements are minimalistic, so is the cover design (portrait sketch by André). The focus of his performance at The Drama Factory will be on his new album All I Really Want.

Singer-songwriter André Swiegers has been an active musician for numerous years. Has collaborated and shared stages with some of the most celebrated names in the industry. He wrote and co-wrote songs that became popular locally and abroad - Blou (André Swiegers & Riana Nel, Laurika Rauch, Laurika Rauch & Loki), Eva, Jammer om te hoor, Doncella, Turn on the light (André Swiegers), Twee Feilbare Mense (André Swiegers & Helena Hettema), Hoe draai die wind dan nou? (Theuns Jordaan), Take me where the sun is shining (Coleske) to name a few. He has won several awards - from best contemporary album to best producer.
