Ard Matthews – singing to save our oceans

Published on

Renowned South African singer and songwriter Ard Matthews popped in to talk about his upcoming performance at Cape Open Air in Muizenberg and his new single “Tell Everyone.”

“Tell Everyone” is born out of Ard’s recent sailing expedition from Cape Town to the Caribbean on his boat, ‘The Impossible Machine.’ His boat is currently being used as a training vessel for youngsters wanting to start a career in yachting.

Witnessing the alarming effects of ocean pollution firsthand, Ard was inspired to use his music as a platform to address this critical issue. The song passionately declares, “If the oceans die, we can say goodbye,” serving as a rallying cry to raise awareness about the dire state of our oceans.

You can catch Ard live this weekend at the inaugural Cape Open Air event at Muizenberg Park. Spearheaded by renowned musician Jeremy Loops, this event promises an intimate, ‘mini-Kirstenbosch by the sea experience’.
