Over the course of the last decade and a half, well known singer and songwriter, Ard Matthews, has been honing his craft and moving people the world over. As the front man of South African band Just Jinjer, his indelible lyrics and melody arrangements led the way to the incredible success of their debut album title ‘All Comes Round’, becoming one of the biggest selling rock genre albums of all time in their native country of South Africa, achieving double platinum status in its first year, with the follow up album “Something for now” reaching the same status a year later.

Lost&Found is a product of years spent touring the world, in vans and clubs, in a youthful delirium. After more than 15 years playing in one of South Africa’s most loved and successful rock bands, The Parlotones’ Glen Hodgson takes front of stage in a new project – Lost&Found. After touring Johannesburg as a Solo act, Glen felt limited and wanted to push the boundaries of what he was creating. Enter drummer Jason Oosthuizen – a South African session drummer/musician described as one of the most explosive live drummers South Africa has ever seen. Jason also currently drums for The Black Cat Bones and has worked with Van Coke Kartel, Fokofpolisiekar & One Day Remains. The entrance of Jason into Lost&Found is the next step in the evolution of a band that has just touched the tip of their own musical iceberg. Lost&Found have been touring their debut album through South Africa in 2016.
