About Guy Buttery
“Guy Buttery is something of a National treasure”, says South
Africa’s leading newspaper The Mercury. As an internationally
recognised musician, this multi-instrumentalist enjoys
invitations to play sell-out performances all over the globe.
The USA, UK, Australia, France, Brazil, and Italy have all
welcomed him back year after year. However, to simply label
Guy Buttery as one of South Africa’s musical phenoms would
be an injustice. His international role has surpassed merely
performing concerts to foreign audiences. It has evolved into
one as an ambassador of South African music, inspiring people
across the world with his homegrown style at the very heart of
his talent and tenacity. Guy’s distinct unification of South
African guitar music is the musical advocate for everything
positive and beautiful about the place he calls home.
At the age of 18, Guy Buttery’s debut album was nominated
for ‘Best Newcomer’ and ‘Best Instrumental’ at the South
African Music Awards (SAMA’s) making him the youngest
nominee in the history of the event. Guy then went on to
collect two SAMA’s in 2010 and again in 2014. He has also
received numerous other major National accolades including
the Ovation Award for his live performances at the National
Arts Festival, and has been honoured with more of these
prestigious awards than any other artist.
Guy was then invited to perform his works with the 52-
piece KZN Philharmonic Orchestra, dubbed “Africa’s
greatest ensemble” with his solo performance voted “Top
Live Show” by The Cape Times and was selected by the
public as one of South Africa’s Top Young Personalities by
The Mail & Guardian. In 2018, Guy received the highest
accolade for a musician in South Africa and was awarded
the Standard Bank Young Artist Award. In almost 4 decades
of honouring artist throughout the country, this was the
first time since its inception that the award was presented
to a musician outside of the classical realm.
Buttery has worked with an incredible myriad of artists
including Dave Matthews, Jethro Tull, Vusi Mahlasela,
multiple Grammy Award Winner Will Ackerman, Salif Keita,
Preston Reed, Kaki King, The Violent Femmes, Jon Gomm
and countless others. The media has cited him “as one of
the finest exponents of the acoustic guitar in the World.”
