Sunday nights in South Africa are not necessarily the end of the weekend but the starting point for an evening packed with local bands.

In the past five years Levi's Vintage Sundays has hosted 160 shows all over the country with many legendary performances, surprise collaborations; rock 'n roll moments and eye-opening antics.

This tradition continues in June as Vintage Sundays returns to Cape Town, hosted at Jade Lounge in Green Point.

Gerald Clark gets things off to a bluesy start on 7 June when he takes to the stage with his acoustic folk lovesongs. Next up are the Albert Frost Band, a group of much-loved musos who share common blues roots and an unmatched ability to connect with an audience. Rounding it all off is Lonesome Dave Ferguson, the one-man music machine who manages to induce the groove with nothing more than a harmonica and his incredibly versatile voice.

One week later, on 14 June Hot Water open with their unique fusion of African melodies and powerful, uplifting vocals. It's soul music with a twist of blues and a dash of the unknown. They're followed by the prolific Flat Stanley who, after making waves overseas, are happy to bring their melodic rock back to South African shores.

On 21 June three more top acts set the stage on fire. First up is the Jitsvinger Acoustic Trio, built around hip hop head Quintin Goliath. This is rap in the mother-tongue, a homegrown blend of powerful poetry. They're followed by Ezra with that incredible voice that first made itself known on 'Idols' and has since gone on to win fans across the country with sensual, soulful performances. The evening ends off with Rus Nerwich's supergroup. A varied crew enlisted to perform work from his album 'Under the Poetree', they'll be getting people up for a jamming session that fuses funk to soul and hip-hop to jazz.

On the final Sunday in June ? the 28th ? Jade Lounge plays host to another trio of excellence. Starting things off is Farryl Purkiss, the man with a golden voice and heartfelt guitar performances who's going to show exactly why he spends most of his time on the road gigging. He's followed by Tina Schouw, the singer and songwriter whose eclectic taste and intuitive ear have seen her collaborate with dancers, poets and thespians. Ending the night, and Levi's Vintage Sundays' June run, is Simon van Gend, a guitarist and singer whose depth and insight are matched only by his unique, catchy take on folk and rock.
