Don’t miss this opportunity to see local man Daryl Simpson perform live from his new album ‘Reflections’ at this album launch of his first solo recording in many years. Well known as a member of vocal group the Celtic Tenors, Daryl returns from international tours of the US, Canada and Netherlands to take us on a very personal journey through songs that have come to influence him over the years. Reflections features great songs like ‘Brown Eyed Girl’, ‘Everybody’s Talkin’, ‘Will you Still Love Me Tomorrow?’ and ‘Annie’s Song’.
This is an easy listening album of classic tracks to sit back and relax to. The album is jointly produced by Daryl and Brian McGrane and places the beautiful vocal front and centre. There are some exquisite arrangements bringing a new twist to some of these well know songs reminding us of the well-crafted lyrics of writers such as Van Morrison, Billy Joel and Kris Kristofferson. Tracks like ‘You Needed Me’, and ‘Go Rest High On That Mountain’ feature the complementing acoustic guitars of Simpson and McGrane. Other moments feature the deft piano skills of Daryl in the likes of ‘Brown Eyed Girl’.There is a strong emotional narrative moving from love ‘Lullabye’ (Goodnight my angel), to faith ‘A Living Prayer’, and loss ‘Go Rest High On That Mountain’ which is tenderly captured by Daryl’s vocal.
Joining him on this journey of hope, love and redemption will be longtime collaborator/producer Brian McGrane who brings his titanic musical powers to the party for some awe inspiring performance moments. Daryl will also be joined by some very special guests in what is sure to be a very special celebration of song. If you are a genuine music lover don’t miss this unique one-off event.
