Louise Carver’s ‘Crush On You’ National Tour Kicks Off Next Week with New Dates Added in Mossel Bay and White River
Award-winning singer-songwriter Louise Carver is taking her latest hit single ‘Crush On You’ on the road this September with a nationwide tour driven by Jeep. The ‘Crush On You’ Tour will see Carver perform across nine enchanting venues in five provinces, offering fans a personal and heartfelt musical experience in some of the country’s most beautiful settings.
The tour follows hot on the heels of her feel-good, retro-infused single ‘Crush OnYou’, currently climbing the national radio charts. Accompanied by a vibrant, nostalgic music video, the track marks a confident return for the artist after her 2023 SAMA win for Best Adult Contemporary Album (Dark Secrets).
“‘Crush On You’ was inspired by that electric feeling of infatuation—the butterflies, the magnetic pull, the sense of possibility,” says Carver. “I wanted to bottle that emotion into a song that felt sexy, fun, and light-hearted — with a touch of vintage disco shimmer.”

The music video, which launched alongside the single, brings this vision to life with bold retro fashion, playful visuals, and one of only two pink Jeeps in the country, thanks to Jeep South Africa. “We had such fun making it. I hope the video reminds people of the magic of crushes—past, present, and those still to come,” says Carver.
Due to overwhelming demand, two new dates have been added to the tour.On 20 September, Carver will perform at the historic ReedValley Theatre in Mossel Bay, known for its rich heritage, award-winning wines, and unique South African-Portuguese flair. Then on 2 October, she brings the tour to the exquisite Yoons Eatery in White River, Mpumalanga, offering audiences a soulful night of live music paired with fine dining in an intimate countryside setting. With limited seating at both venues, fans are encouraged to book early as these intimate shows are expected to sell out fast.
Audiences can now experience the magic live, and tickets are available via www.louisecarver.com
