| Eddi
Reader has effortlessly developed into one of popular music’s most thrilling
and affecting performers. What sets
Eddi apart is the depth and quality of the emotional performance and ability
to not only move the listener, but connect her experience to that of her
audience. No two performances are ever
the same. Though first brought into the limelight as front woman for Fairground Attraction, who’s #1 single, Perfect and parent album, First of a Million Kisses, both topped the British charts, it was Eddi’s subsequent solo albums that signalled her ability to assimilate different musical styles and make them very much her own. Notably, The Songs of Robert Burns (2003) is a timeless interpretation showcasing the poems of Scotland’s national bard and gained her an MBE for outstanding contributions to the Arts. From the traditional to the contemporary, Eddi Reader extinguishes the preordained boundaries of genre, bringing joyous life to all forms of song. Her rare blend of meltingly true vocals and towering romanticism combine with an astute and pragmatic nature to make her a unique and powerful figure in contemporary British music. With 10 critically acclaimed solo albums, three BRIT awards, a #1 single and an MBE in tow, Eddi continues to delight audiences worldwide. 2022 proved to be one of her busiest touring years yet, playing sell out shows as part of her ‘40 Years Live Tour’ in addition to appearing as special guest with the Jools Holland’s Rhythm & Blues Orchestra for an extensive UK tour. Eddi Reader and her husband, John Douglas, are embarking on a new musical journey together this year. With their songs, voices, acoustic guitars and concertina, the duo of Eddi and John plan on making an album later in the year using only this stripped back format. DMC are privileged to be getting a first taste of this collaboration, songs will be explored, honed and taken somewhere new. Both Eddi and John are excited to let their sound evolve in a friendly, intimate live setting before heading to the recording studio to make their debut Eddi & John album. |
