Jeremy Loops – Playing it Forward at Kirstenbosch Summer Sunset Concerts

“Jeremy Loops” is a sentence, not just a name. Jeremy records sounds and plays them back on repeat, creating a loop effect. He switches between recordings and voice-changers while playing guitar, ukulele, harmonica and a children’s toy as well as singing and rapping.
Nestled in Kirstenbosch National Botanic Gardens, the stage on Sunday night was framed with fairy lights and ornamented with plants to illustrate Jeremy’s commitment to and connection with South Africa’s natural beauty.
Jeremy walked out onto stage carrying a camera. He took a photograph of the crowd before approaching the microphone. He has a way of making the audience feel a part of the performance and they share in his success as a musician and ambassador for South Africa.
The crowd had been asked to bring blankets and clothes to donate before the show. He posted to his Facebook page the following call to the Loops community: “There’s something really powerful about how music can bring lots of like-minded people together in one safe space. And I’ve always wondered how, as a community, we can harness this collective energy to do tangible good in the world”.
This is just one of many examples that demonstrates the down-to-earth Jeremy Loops his fans adore; not afraid to dig his hands into the soil and unearth the fruit of dedication.
Having played a number of shows in England (returning later this year), Canada (part of his ‘Around the World Tour’ which consisted of 17+ shows), New York, California and Austin, Jeremy Loops will be performing at the following local and international locations in the following few months:

“Take one look where you are now;
Feel good that you got this far.
Be sure to take a little time
To help a fellow out
And tell them that they got power”
