Guy Buttery – Character Portraits of a soulful musician
Guy Buttery’s music makes me close my eyes and look inward. It’s dreamy, soulful, clean and clever. Watching him play is interesting, as he shuts down and moves into another land … a land where he is seems to be swept away by a creative force. If meditation had a dance, and if that dance had a sound, and if that sound had a playful joyful twist….. then in my opinion, that sound might just be Guy’s music.
This was a warm up shoot … A shoot before the real shoot.
I hope I have done his talent and beautiful soul justice.
For all of my European readers Guy is on a tour with Nibs Vd Spuy and will be playing in Amsterdam, London, France and Italy over the next month. You can click here for more details or follow him on FB here. Guy is one of South Africa’s finest musical exports having won all sorts of awards but more importantly he plays the guitar (and a saw among other instruments!) like a maestro. You wont regret going to see him I can assure you!

You have captured Guy’s unique sense of soulful musicality and made it visual for us, especially in the second image, with the misty mysteriousness between him and himself.
