Well known for his hypnotic and original One Man and his Ghost Orchestra show, enigmatic multi-instrumentalist Delaney Davidson both defines and commands his own unique realm in the shadowy musical world some call ‘Country-Noir’ or ‘Gothic Americana’.
After the sell-out shows of his album release tour here in New Zealand and touring the album through Europe, Delaney returns to present the songs from this latest album in the intimate space of the Pacific Crystal Palace.
Out Of My Head presents songs written over the global pandemic lockdown period with Davidson navigating the personal political landscape he seems to feel at home in. What does the 10th album mean to a man standing on the precipice of 50 as his touring world territory cross fades into his house and backyard?
Revelling in the darker side of things, Davidson’s lyrical content dredges up classic murder ballads, songs with a deep insight into the human condition, and hypnotic trance takes on old blues classics, all liberally laced with an abiding sympathy for human quirks, failure, foibles and triumphs.
Incontestably one of Aotearoa’s most influential and lauded contemporary songwriters - Under The Radar
