Emerging Artists Join Musical Forces, Embark On Double-Bill Adventure
Danielle Gasparro & Chris Simmons “Primo Volo” US/UK Tour 2008
_________________________
In the spring of 2007, Danielle Gasparro, a New York City based singer-songwriter and Chris Simmons, a UK based artist, had the honor of meeting on an Italian hillside, as participants in a songwriting retreat hosted by Chris Difford, of Squeeze. Since then, they have remained connected as inspired friends, peers and collaborators, in both writing and performance.
This June and July, Danielle and Chris are joining musical forces and taking their songs and spirits to the road. "And hopefully", Danielle explains, "into the hearts and minds of many." With their "Primo Volo" US/UK Tour,a series of double-bill concerts are set to take "first flight" on both sides of the pond, representing the debut touring for each of these dynamic artists.
Danielle’s music is best described as a soulful hybrid of jazz and pop - a savvy, thoughtful blend, acutely referenced as “Joni Mitchell meets Carole King. Over wine. At sunset.” Chris’ songs, born more of a folk/pop union, are at once powerful and poignant, and ever reflect the muse he’s found in classic pop rock artists such as Neil Finn, Paul Simon and the legendary UK band Squeeze, for whom he's had the honor of opening.
With the tour, Danielle celebrates the live-show pre-release of her new full-length recording, “Birdsong”, and Chris offers up new music in the form of his debut EP, “The Perils of Self Harmony”.
