Dan Shears & The Velveteen Orkestra
Website
Dan Shears & The Velveteen Orkestra is proving himself to be one of London's more interesting and captivating singer/songwriters. Whether performing solo or with THE VELVETEEN ORKESTRA... beautiful, flowing vocal melodies, with lyrics that bring to mind carnival-esque lullabies written by a much older soul, cascade over delicate and intricate guitar-work and songs so immersed in passion and pathos that they're sure to haunt the memory long after the first listen. An opulent blend of influences from acts such as Jeff Buckley and Morrissey with the folk music of Russia and Eastern Europe, orchestral arrangements that grip the heart and a voice that sounds as though he is singing from his very soul. The band have just released an EP entitled 'THE ETERNAL MYSTERY OF THE HUMAN HEART' which precedes their first album, 'TAKE UP ARMS'.
