Daryl Wayne Dasher Celebrates New Album, great big sky, Due April 23, 2013
11 years ago Liv Carter 6
Country-folk singer-songwriter Daryl Wayne Dasher will release his sophomore album, great big sky, on April 23, 2013 on Hike the Stone Music. With spirited melodies and intriguing lyrics, the eleven track album is the culmination of years of hard work, hard lessons learned, tough paths traveled, and real life lived. Dasher will celebrate the release during a special night at the Hard Rock Café Memphis on April 19, 2013 at 10 pm.
The album is a labor of love and Dasher is proud to present it to his audience. “Making this album took more out of me than anything I’ve ever done before,” he said. “There were many steep emotional ups and downs during the writing process, recording, and especially the mixing of ‘great big sky.’ I liken it to going on a really long hike on the Appalachian Trail. There are many seemingly pointless ups and down, moments of vision and joy, moments of being totally drained both emotionally and physically, times when you ask “why am I doing this?” and times of perfect clarity. “
From honest introspection on ‘Hello Sky!’ to the story of a road-weary musician on ‘Again,’ and the island relaxation on ‘Sun,’ the album celebrates a diversity of characters. Each song is a little vignette of real life with Daryl being a skilled interpreter of emotions. He lets his voice soar like an eagle in ‘The Mountains of Montana,’ and lets it drop to a disenchanted sigh on ‘Soldier.’ Built on traditional country music tempos and strengthened by storytelling in the best folk tradition, great big sky, lets Daryl take his place among modern day American troubadours.
When picking the location for the album release, Dasher wanted to give his most supportive audience the first listen. “Memphis is one of the regions in the U.S. that has been most supportive of me, my music, and my career,” he insists. “I learned a lot about entertaining by playing many late nights at the Beale Street Tap Room – just a stone’s throw from the Hard Rock Café. There is literally nowhere I would rather celebrate this album’s release!”
