JAMES STEWART & JOHN ELLIS EXPLORE THE MUSIC OF STING to be Presented at The Drama Factory This Month

The Drama Factory is presenting a musical journey through the songs of Sting. 

James Stewart made his bones as the singer and songwriter for the chart-topping band, The Usual, and then for his solo work -  picking up multi SAMA awards and a few Emmy Awards along the way.  John Ellis is the charismatic frontman of South Africa's very own Tree63, which enjoyed significant international success - a highly accomplished songwriter, singer and writer.

This show isn't about mimicry or simply replicating Sting's hits, it's about putting our own spin on these incredible songs to celebrate one of our greatest songwriting influences.  They will dive deep into Sting's solo gems and The Police classics, infusing them with our own stories, emotions, and creativity.  Expect fresh interpretations, heartfelt vocals, and a touch of our own musical magic.

So, join us for a night of music that bridges generations and styles. It's a tribute to the enduring power of Sting's compositions and an expression of our profound gratitude for the influence he's had on our musical journeys.  This show is a collision of our past and Sting's timeless melodies, and we can't wait to share it with you.   See you there.
