DARREN HANLON will be bringing his legendary Yuletide show to Mojo’s Bar on the 15th of December.
If there’s one constant in the disjointed life of Darren Hanlon it’s his annual Yuletide show series. “The years seem to get faster and the Christmas tour is the playing card in the spokes that mark each turn for me,” he says. And the season is upon us again. Nearing a decade of existence, this year will see Hanlon once again take the stage in a blaze of solo informality, keeping things loose and inviting special guests to sing a song or two. Business as usual except that for this year the shows have the added prestige of serving as the launch of his new single When You Go, the first track to be released off his long awaited 6th album to be released in early March next year. The album journey was an unplanned, and sometimes perilous, lope through the American South, with different songs recorded in a serious of different towns and studios, often with musicians Hanlon met in the studio or found busking nearby. When You Go was recorded early in the journey at Electraphonic Recording, in Memphis TN, by Scott Bomar, who is renowned for his soundtrack work with Memphis film maker Craig Brewer (Hustle and Flow, Black Snake Moan) as well as being the instigator of the band The Bo-Keys, made up of former legends of the Hi Rhythm Section and Stax Records sessions.”
