Grateful for You
These are the faces and moments that make my gigs feel like coming back to myself.
Snaps from your weddings, birthdays, sunsets, and quiet nights where the music just hit home.
Thank you for letting me be part of your story.
Keep sending them, I love seeing you here.
Gabi Baronetti
I love Derek's music. It always moves me. I have probably been attending his gigs for 20 years now, it's a new experience every single time. Magic.
JORDAN ROZEN
Derek is an awesome guy to work with, teaching and guiding and a creative force to be reckoned with. Music is his mother-tongue. I learn from him everyday.
James Saunders
Short guest appearance at one of my favourite musicians gig at the viper lounge, Tableview . Was caught by a power cut and left to play unplugged for a while. Thank you Derek Sassen I look forward to jamming some more tunes with you.
LEE RACHSTEIN
Seen here as three non-blondes, Lee Rachstein is a veteran fan with a voice like thunder! When she gets up and rocks "What's up?" with Derek, the crowd goes nuts.
WESTLEY ENGELBRACHT
I can't count the number of times I have jammed with Derek Sassen, he has played with me for causes and for fun. Every gig was one for the history books, Derek makes music to remember.
AMANDA RISI & BILL
Amanda and Bill Knight run The Cottage Club in Fish Hoek, a wonderful, slightly bohemian venue where good friends gather for good music. Amanda and Bill host different artists every week, so if you do see Derek on their line up, go!
