AMAZING TRIPLE BILL

DONOVAN

The legendary singer/songwriter Donovan graces the Fairfield stage again with the music that has moved a generation. Recently awarded the music industry's BMI Icon Award, Donovan was at the forefront of the British Invasion in the 1960's...and his innovations in music, life, and love left a profound imprint on our cultural landscape. Beginning in '65 with "To Catch The Wind", Donovan has released an unparalleled string of hits, including Sunshine Superman, Mellow Yellow, Hurdy Gurdy Man, Atlantis, Wear Your Love Like Heaven, and many more. Touring strong, with a new album in the making, Donovan is still moving the music scene. Donovan lovers will enjoy Donovan's rock out side at this Fairfield concert--a rare treat--as he'll be backed by The Little Death on his big hits.

THE LITTLE DEATH nyc

Features lead singer Laura Dawn, Daron Murphy on guitar/harmonica, Aaron Brooks on drums and acclaimed musician Moby (who won't be joining the band in Fairfield for this date since he's on solo tour). Inspired by classic blues, The Little Death laces gospel-touched melodies and earthy lyrics with a robust rock and roll edge. Laura Dawn is a riveting performer, with a powerhouse voice that is equal parts Tina Turner and Janis Joplin. Their packed live shows (featuring tight harmonies from backup singers Jamie Rae and Cherie Martorana, aka The Death Threats) are powerful and passionate-a rockin' soul blues revival for hungry souls.

Direct from London with his band

In James' words, "I have been playing music since I was nine and writing along the way. I met my band about a year ago. Producer David Kahne introduced us-and my dad, Paul, helped. I am currently recording an album. The band consists of me, 32, on guitar, piano, and vocals; Brian Johnson, 28, on drums; Steven Bayley, 32, on guitar, synthesizers, toy piano, and harmonies; and Charles Turner, 27, on bass and harmonies. The music is inspired by the Beatles, Nirvana, the Cure, PJ Harvey, Radiohead, and all good music. It is basically rock 'n 'roll, clean sounding, and vocal. My dad taught me guitar when I was nine. I play a Fender Stratocaster, which Carl Perkins gave me from the seventies, and a Gibson Les Paul that my dad gave me-heart red. I am from London and Sussex, Brian and Charlie are from Allerton, Liverpool, where my dad grew up, and Steve is from Birmingham. Brian and Charlie used to be in the "Dead 60s" and Steve used to be in "The Open." We are currently on tour. We are mixing our album in Hog Hill Studio, Sussex. The words on the album refer to spirituality, love, family, trying to sort out one's own life, and many other things. I have written the songs over a ten-year period."
