THE WAITING ROOM :: DELANEY DAVIDSON :: 05/07/24
For our first confirmed show of the year, we’re delighted to welcome back the dark troubadour Delaney Davidson.
Initially inspired by the songs of Hank Williams and the Birthday Party, and the performance styles of distilled Johnny Cash and dead-pan Buster Keaton, Delaney synthesizes these into his own persona. His seminal influence and work with Marlon Williams on their “Sad But True” series, as well as his visionary production work for Tami Neilson, have earned him great praise from the media and huge respect amongst his peers.
Generally dealing with the darker side of things, Davidson’s lyrical content ranges from classic murder ballads to songs with a deeper insight into the human condition and a sympathy and acceptance of the quirks of life and human foibles. Combining the older style of beerhall musician and the traditions of pantomime and audience involvement his live show is renowned for its sublime dance competitions and bawdy sing-alongs.
His new album Out Of My Head is out now.
