Prodigal Road Winding Down

It’s not often you get to sit down at an album launch, get a cup of tea or coffee, close your eyes and vanish to another world. Where you are not expecting any returns on investments because your only investment was time. The night of Prodigal Road EP launch became a night filled with sound, lyrics, storytelling and harmonic notes.

With tracks like “With Or Without You” and “Walls”, this Durban trio have lyrical prowess like no other. Nailing notes whilst being perfectly at home on stage. This band has taken their time. A journey well travelled, at age 12, Marc Skarda knew that his calling was in music. He has been a part of a few well known industry movers and shakers, even touring the states with Tree63, music has always been a part of his life. Michelle and Bryce became the perfect fit in making a dream into a reality. This trio has poured months into making their sound a sound to be reckoned with.

Vocalist Michelle’s radiance is revealed throughout her performance. Showing nothing but joy and satisfaction her harmonies take the sound to another level. With stories being told in each song, one gets to hear the reason why they had to live, battle the beast called insecurity, defy challenging obstacles and eventually arrived to what now seems like a dream come true. Bryce is multitalented musician who plays guitar, bass guitar, keyboard, drums and more he featured occasionally on the night as the back-up vocals.

The nostalgia of being in your living room enjoying a jam session returned. Prodigal Road sculptured their repertoire. Making one feel like old friends catching up over a cup of tea. The night was short lived and their fans including me, cannot wait for their next performance.
