I do a request show with hit songs from all time. I play acoustic guitar with vocals. I use tracks occasionally when needed and can perform most requests. I often like to have my repertoire on a screen so people can choose what they would like to hear.

Craig Jack Lewis - Acoustic Guitarist / Vocalist - Durban/Ballito, KwaZulu-Natal Event Location: Illovo Event Type: Christmas in July 14th June 2019

“Craig Jack Lewis Coe entertains Tuesday Rostrum members at the festive July lunch. SINGER, songwriter and guitarist Craig Jack Lewis Coe, who has wandered across continents as a professional musician for the last 17 years, was the perfect choice as the guest entertainer when Tuesday Rostrum celebrated ‘Christmas in July’. From his first offering, a breezy rendition of ‘Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head’, in honour of the welcome rain that fell that day, to his final encore, he charmed, entertained, amused and delighted his audience. Not only an extremely talented singer and versatile musician, Craig has a sunny stage presence, a great sense of humour and an incredibly warm and relaxed rapport with his audience.” - The Herald, The Herald Christmas in July The Roxette Tribute show with Cole van dais is available now

I am a guitarist/vocalist/ presenter. The repertoire (see attachment) is around 400 songs and I can play most requests which is the basis of my performance. I'm able to perform with or without backing tracks.
On occasion I can perform totally unplugged without sound equipment which is useful when I do parties at home or in an intimate dining setting where the sound levels are critical, walking to tables to sing Happy Birthday etc and special occasions or in the Chapel for weddings and the list goes on.

2020 to 2022. Music Teacher and live performance artist in Pretoria. Due to Covid 19. I have not been performing as much as usual in traditional venues and am concentrating on theatre style productions and teaching children in the local area. We are booked for a cruise in January with MSC as the industry seems to be opening up again.
(It’s impossible to list all of my clients as I have been doing around 4 to 6 shows per week until the Covid pandemic)

The Roxette Tribute show is a collaboration with Cole van dais on a scripted theatre performance. Hoping to explore the cruise and resort industry further as a solo act, session musician or duo act with Cole van dais.

2016 – 2019 - First Resorts Group (Resort Entertainment)
La Montagne Ballito: At resort and poolside venues the children are not forgotten and encouraged to sing various children's songs. They participate along with many adults in line dancing, the cha-cha slide, the Macarena, The Birdie song and more activities in conjunction with the resort entertainment programs. I feel that holidays consist of memories that people take away with them. I make a point of providing those memories for adults and children alike.
