Frontman of two of the biggest bands in SA has gone solo and pops into Jacaranda FM to talk about the bold career move and shows fans some love with a one-of-a-kind unplugged performance.

Hailing from rock roots of Fokofpolisiekar and then Van Coke Kartel, the man with the unmistakable growl shows the world a softer side with his first solo self-titled album, Francois van Coke. Fans will not be disappointed as each song showcases Van Coke’s unique talent in tracks that are lyrically and melodically more mature than anything you’ve heard him do before.

Ahead of the Blood Brother’s concert with took place on 18 July at Carnival City, Van Coke and guitarist Richard Onraet joined Frankie and some fans in studio for Friday Live where he performed an acoustic set featuring tracks from his solo album.
