RYNO THERON

Ryno Theron is a Solo Experimental Guitarist from Durban (South Africa). His sound is mostly instrumental, layered with Ambient textures and accompanied by groovy percussion and bass lines through his Fingerstyle technique (playing drums, bass lines and melody at the same time on one guitar without looping). Coming from a Metal background, this has also given him a unique take by mixing this with numerous other playing styles. His music is usually met with much excitement due to the unique playing style, sounds, and the intense energy that accompanies it. He spent the last three years performing extensively as a solo artist as well as with his trio. Ryno performed 40 shows in 2017 and over 60 in 2018, inclusive of notable performances at Splashy Fen (with The Nishalin Pillay Trio), as well as Smoking Dragon Festival and The The Monteseel Music Festival (with his Trio as well as solo). He also did two short solo Gauteng Tours. He ended off 2019 by playing on The Smoking Dragon Main Stage with a five piece version of his band. 2020 started off promising with the release of his second full length album and a Gauteng Tour in February, joined by good friends The Name On The Drum.
