Morake is scheduled to perform in Cape Town on Friday, 13 October at the Grand Arena, GrandWest, and then on Sunday, 15 October at the Ticketpro Dome in Johannesburg.
In less than a year after its release, Morkae’s debut album, My Hart Bly in ‘n Taal rose to platinum status- something that is rarely achieved by a first album, filling his schedule with as many as 23 performances each month.
Morake was first discovered when Cecilia Kruger Marchionna, a resident from his home town, recorded cell phone videos of him performing his renditions of Laurika Rauch’s Lisa se Klavier, Bok van Blerk’s De la Rey and Ed Sheraan’s Thinking Out loud.
At KKNK in Oudtshoorn, Morake caught the eye of singer Karen Zoid who saw him during a street performance. He was introduced to various South African artists by the KKNK organisers, and invited by Zoid to share the stage. It was because of these events that Morake was offered a recording contract at Sony Music Entertainment’s Afrikaans label, Select Musiek.
Lady Antebellum formed in Nashville, Tennessee in 2006. The group is composed of Hilary Scott (lead vocals), Charles Kelley (lead background vocals and guitar) and Dave Haywood (background vocals, guitar, piano and mandolin).

Lady Antebellum returns to the radio with You Look Good, while concurrently announcing it as the debut single off their sixth studio album, Heart Break, as well as the 2017 world tour.
