Daryl Shawn
I had the good fortune to see Daryl perform a couple of shows this
past weekend and just want to encourage anyone on his tour route to
come on out and show some love! :)
Firstly he's a phenomenal guitarist and looping artist. Secondly,
he's a phenomenal singer / song writer; And thirdly, he's just
phenomenally fun to hang with! lol! -did I say phenomenal? :)
Anyway, yeah, we had good times and the shows were upbeat and fun!
• Echo Curio - Sat eve;
The space was a way interesting lil art venue with some *very* down-
to-earth proprietors and audience. -Very open / supportive environment.
Daryl played second in a trifecta of looping artists, (most people
there were familiar with looping, though not with LD) all of whom
brought differing flavors to the table. Daryl did a very cool glitchy
cassette looping set, -also pitching and blending his looped melodies
by adjusting tape speed / volume, seamlessly mixing his live playing
in real-time. Tres cool sound manglage was had by all, with all of
the interesting tape regeneration effects going on! -Very
wild!!! :) woohoo!!!
• AC Lounge - Sun eve;
AC Lounge is a great / upscale space on the West Side, which
features live / local talent every Sunday evening. :) It's a nice
club, and they mix a *mean* Lemmondrop! lol! I mean, OMG! was this
thing heavy handed! :)
anyway, Daryl was on first this time, doing a great folk set,
sounding terrific! He also did some acrobatics as well, which I'll
let him tell ya about if he wants! :) Anyway, the crowd loved him!
He was followed by two other local folk artists; -also excellent,
though the crowd, by the third artist, began to get a bit louder, but
the house sound didn't keep up. I'd have liked to hear that
performance a bit louder, but that was soon made up for with the last
two bands which were exceedingly loud. By that point though, the
crowd got a bit too much like the usual bar crowd for my tastes, and I
baled. I must say though, that I think it's way cool that the AC
Lounge supports the variety of music I heard last night! Kudos to
them!…
anyway, the practical upshot of all this is simply - GO SEE
DARYL!!! :) that is your mission, should you choose to accept it! :)
Have an awesome evening and hope y'all will send along notes as the
tour progresses?… Would love to read them.
Have a lovely, and talk witchy'all soon!…
Smiles,
Cara :)
