Powered by seamless, searing harmonies and vibrant rhythm, Durban acoustic band Kith & Kin is receiving a great deal of attention for their musical lore that tells the story of a family who just can\u2019t contain their love for music.<\/p>\n

They weren\u2019t lying when family folk and country cover band Kith & Kin told me their family home in Kloof was like a train station. From the awesome foursome themselves – Courtney (Big Sista), Stephanie (last born Shrub), Jordan (black sheep brother) and Daniel (dad) – to the band\u2019s biggest cheerleader, mom Elza, as well as granny who busts through the back door to check in on everyone, the furry family favourites chilling quietly on laps and carpets nearby and a host of friends who drop in. It\u2019s wonderfully chaotic and a special space for The Koekemoers (and their nearest and dearest) to gather, as they often do, and reflect on their youth around dad\u2019s grand piano, harmonising to old classics like The Animals\u2019 House of the Rising Sun<\/em>\u00a0and Something<\/em> by The Beatles.<\/p>\n

Since they all live in different suburbs and lead their own lives outside of the band, it makes sense for this to be the common ground for band practice and revelling over how music has gone beyond borders to bring them together.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve all flown the nest, travelled, explored the world and career options, but somehow we\u2019ve all been brought back to our roots in music and this place,\u201d says Courtz, a married mum of two and a performing arts teacher who takes charge on vocals, acoustic or rhythmic guitar and the ukulele when they\u2019re on stage as Kith & Kin.<\/p>\n

She and Steph, an eligible farming adviser who\u2019s on drums, percussion and band admin, originally started the band just shy of 10 years ago with only a Cajon (a box-shaped percussion instrument) and an acoustic guitar.<\/p>\n

\u201cBack then Courtz knew only four chords,\u201d Steph reminds her with a chuckle. \u201cBut she won a trip to Mozambique in a karaoke competition, and things just got better from there.<\/p>\n

Then there\u2019s broker consultant Jordz \u2013 a recently engaged dark horse and the reason everyone picked up a guitar and started playing together. Determined to contribute to what the girls were doing, he bought a bass guitar and taught himself to play.<\/p>\n

\u201cBelieve it or not, I suffer from severe stage fright,\u201d admits Jordz, \u201cbut I\u2019ve always managed to work my way around it once we\u2019ve got going.\u201d<\/p>\n

Though neither of them are musically trained, they thrive on learning and upskilling themselves, and attribute their success to their self-employed medical agent dad who kills it on the bass and drum, with a little credit given to some musical influence via their bloodline – Elza\u2019s dad could yodel and Dan\u2019s father played the concertina in his local boereorkes.<\/p>\n

\u201cDad was totally convinced he was going to be a heavy metal rock star,\u201d the \u2018kids\u2019 chirp. \u201cHis first full salary was spent on an acoustic guitar – the same one he uses in the band today. Mom has quite the set of lungs on her and enjoys belting it out every now and then. Though for the most part she prefers to leave us to it, she plays an integral role in our lives and neither we, nor the band, would function without her.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Their decision to more recently combine their talents into one band they called Kith and Kin – Old English for friends and family (which is exactly what the band is) and with an emphasis on the K for Koekemoer – has had them (and their audiences) jamming at local bars and restaurants like Waxy o\u2019 Connors, Tipsy Flamingo, Kloof Country Club, Fabrica, Soul Sunday\u00a0Sessions at\u00a0Crusaders, Butlers Hillcrest and the Keg & Trout. They cover anything from the golden oldies to the latest contemporary tunes. Pick your genre \u2026 Mumford and Sons, Dolly Parton, Johnny Cash, Nancy Sinatra, Michael Jackson, Lady Gaga, The Lumineers\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cDurban North really likes us! And the pubs are our best gigs. We feed off the crowds and their energy as much as they feed off of ours,\u201d says the band.<\/p>\n

With their unintentional boho gypsy vibe, Kith & Kin bring fun and flavour to the people they encounter. They break barriers by handing out instruments, interacting with crowds, inviting people to sing with them and hosting music quiz evenings. And they do it for the warmth and the love they get out of it, say the family quartet. \u201cIt\u2019s our happy place.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked how they get around to gigs, every finger in the house pointed to the jalopy outside \u2013 an old VW Combi with almost half a million kilometres on it, plus a dodgy side window, and even though it has its health checks, the display dash still lights up with an airbag fault and a service reminder.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a two-seater, but becomes a four-seater when we\u2019re on the road to a gig way out of town,\u201d says Dan. \u201cAnd there\u2019s no radio. We are the radio. We shove a wooden box in the middle so we can all fit in, and we huddle up and sing. And I always shove a bottle of J\u00e4germeister (our heavenly milk) in the side door in case we need it.\u201d<\/p>\n

This has been the case on more than one occasion, shares Dan, who takes us on a humorous and nostalgic trip down memory lane to a gig they were booked to do some time ago at Afriski Mountain Resort in Lesotho.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had a little engine trouble \u2026 okay a lot, and it caught alight. We were stranded among sheep and goats until help came, and we didn\u2019t quite make it to our gig, but the people were really understanding,\u201d says Dan.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, say the band, the Kombi lives to drive another day and they are left with some of the best memories that they still cry with laugher over today.<\/p>\n

\u201cMore than anything, we value the unbelievable bond that is shared among us. We might live apart, but we\u2019re addicted to each other and if we don\u2019t see each other for days, we have withdrawals. Music is the thing that unites us, that helps us get each other. It is the one place we can all go to, on our own but best done together, and leave our worries behind because, while we are so in the moment, we have no time for anything else.\u201d<\/p>\n
