It may not be free music, but it is a lot of music to release in one year. For singer-songwriter Will Dailey, it seems making music comes easily. I guess when you have a theme and with some many issues going on in the world, it’s easy to be inspired. Starting this month Dailey will be releasing music every three months until the end of the year. It’s refreshing that a musician feels passionate enough to release that much music. It gives fans something to look forward to.
This Boston singer/songwriter released Torrent 1 and 2, a combination of two EP’s earlier this month. The first is Fashion of Distraction, influenced by ‘60s and ‘70s music, particularly the Byrds. Roger McGuinn actually appears on “Peace of Mind.” The other EP is By the Blue Hills, a collection of songs saluting Boston and Will’s musical family there, featuring cameos from Boston luminaries and Dailey friends Kay Hanley (Letters to Cleo), Tanya Donelly (Belly, Throwing Muses), Elliott Easton (The Cars), Tim Brennan (Dropkick Murphy’s) and local fixtures Duke Levine and Sean Staples.
Sweet, lovely, but often serious Dailey’s songs take an easy flow, but his consistency makes his songs shine. They are straightforward and nice to hear. The songs are ones that uplift, make you think, and calm down. Standout tracks include “Never Be Your Baby,” “Love Is One the Way,” and “Too Long.”
Mr. Dailey performs a headlining show at Maxwell’s in Hoboken, NJ this Father’s Day, June 21st with Jon Robert, Nick Howard, and Anthony Melillo . The show is $8 in advance, $10 at the door which open at 7:30p.m. This can be a nice Father’s Day treat for dad. Maxwell’s is a restaurant where you can find a number of yummy entries and appetizers, then after head to the show in intimate back space to hear these songwriters mellow is out with rock and acoustic sets, you and dad can enjoy. The room has some sitting area on the side, but it’s mainly standing room only. Advance tickets are available here.
