Touring with the Legend - A tribute to Rodriguez

Featuring Graham Gillot: Guitarist from SA & USA Tours

“Touring with the Legend” is a tribute to the legendary singer songwriter, Rodriguez in its purest form. Told by his band mates of 20 years, this show provides footage, songs, stories, and insights behind the curtain.

Featuring a Live Band with song list including: I Wonder, Sugarman, Crucify Your Mind, Street Boy, Only Good for Conversation, You’d Like to Admit It, Climb Up On My Music, Halfway Up The Stairs, Forget It, Jane S Piddy, Like Janis, Hate Street, Establishment Blues, Inner City Blues, Can’t Get Away, To Whom This May Concern, Rick Folks and more

The show is presented by Graham Gillot, who toured several times with Rodriguez, from 2004 to his very last US tour in Feb 2020, just before the Covid pandemic hit, cancelling the rest of his US tours. Sadly, due to this, Rodriguez never toured again. (During those last shows, Rodriguez actually predicted the severity of Covid, even before the lockdowns.)

Graham was privileged to be part of the Rodriguez story and to perform with the Legend in South Africa and the USA over the years as guitarist and music director. Rodriguez used to say, “We are making Rock ‘n Roll History!’”

Learn about the meaning behind some of Rodriguez’ most famous lyrics, get behind the scenes of the movie, and discover what ultimately happened to the money and royalties. Hear the story behind the unrecorded songs and the third album that never happened.

The show includes visuals and production with interviews, stories from the road, and unseen footage of the last tour.

Celebrate the life and the music of a Legend, who influenced and changed so many people’s lives, in ways he never knew. We honour and pay tribute to Rodriguez the Legend - star of the movie ‘Searching for Sugarman’.

About Graham Gillot:

Graham grew up in the Garden Route, South Africa, which is where he first played with Rodriguez in 2004.

Graham later moved to the USA with his unique aerial “Flying Guitarist Act,” which was featured on ‘America’s Got Talent’ and ‘Britain’s Got Talent.’

He toured with the top US 10-piece corporate event band Powerhouse, led by the guitarist from Roy Orbison, as well as many other artists and bands in the US.

>Simon Cowell: “Fantastic act”

>Howard Stern: “Great guitar player”

>George W Bush (ex-president): “Excellent guitarist”

Show Reviews

•*For everyone that I know, in other parts of the country YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS! What an amazing story! Rodriguez was truly a legend and who better to share his story than Graham Gillot! You won't be disappointed! - Shanna May Fisher

•*Definitely not to be missed - an awesome tribute to a legend - David Kretzmann

•*It was amazing. Well done. Such great insight and love for a legend. We loved the show. Thank you for sharing your life with us - Lisa van Wyk

•*The Tribute to Rodriguez show was simply outstanding! A truly memorable occasion! All 4 of us had a ball enjoying all those classics from the past and such talented musicians!

•*The show was spectacular, worth seeing, incredibly talented musos & a beautiful tribute to a legend.

•*What a fabulous afternoon of entertainment and anecdotes. Graham is a master on guitar and his inside stories of touring with Rodriques made the songs and lyrics all the more poignant.

•*Remarkable show. Loved the insight, old photos, and listening to the band rock.

•*Very impressed with the band and newfound respect for Rodriguez after seeing this show!

•*This multimedia show is so personal, candid and often introspective, as told by his guitarist and friend, Graham Gillot, that you feel like you’ve been invited to sit with a friend and reminisce about an “ordinary Legend.” Sugarman’s impact and influence is re-lived as you hear his music while seeing and absorbing his lyrics, with a new wonderful appreciation.

•*What a stunning show with spectacular music and storytelling! The music will live on forever.

•*What a wonderful realisation that the Rodriguez tribute was a live elegy from a young South African who played by Rodriguez’s side for those rediscovery years, the endearing and incredible guitarist Graham Gillot. What a touching show, rendition of art and wonderful musicianship. Just so much authenticity and emotion right there. I thoroughly enjoyed the presentation of the lyrics, poetry really, and enjoyed the apparently postmodern interplay of live performance against the digital story — quite eerie at times, almost bringing the artist into the room like an ancestor rising from the sea and coming to have a chat - Travels of Delores Koan

•*What an amazing tribute, Graham Gillot Band!! What you set out to do, that is to honour and pay tribute to the great man and musician that Sixto Rodriguez was, you achieved tenfold. Your approach was humble, dignified and respectful of someone who you clearly admired so much. Thanks for the insights and thanks for keeping his memories and his music alive. The saddest part is that the show came to an end. Thank you for an amazing show and wonderful tribute to a true poet and legend!!
