His wasn't destined to be an ordinary story. Now comes the next chapter in the evolution of an extraordinary musician.

Craig Hinds announced today his three city Ordinary Boy tour, which will see him performing in Port Elizabeth on 29 June at the Vodacom Ampitheatre, Johannesburg on 13 July at Room Five in Rivonia and at Moyo Kirstenbosch in Cape Town on 19 July. Tickets are on sale now through Computicket for the shows in Port Elizabeth and Johannesburg and Webtickets for the performance in Cape Town.

Craig Hinds knows, perhaps better than anyone else in the country, how to craft a song that gets under the skin, seeps into your soul, and stays with you. Making unforgettable pop songs is something he's been doing for 15 years. As songwriter and lead vocalist he's turned out archetypal performances, making Watershed not only a legendary band, but the number one acoustic rock outfit in the country. He's penned some of the most memorable pop songs and radio hits of the last decade and a half.

Four great albums and more than a decade as the country's number one pop-rock outfit has brought tremendous fulfillment, but as Craig says A solo project is a natural progression for a singer-songwriter, and Craig felt ready for "a bit of 'me' time." The other members of Watershed each have their side projects and alternative outlets, and whilst Craig has written songs for other artists, he's been keen to do something more deeply personal.

The album, which is available in all music stores nationally is tipped to be the most exciting pop album to come out of South Africa this year.
