Daddy Long Legs return to the Netherlands for a string of shows

Daddy Long Legs are New York City's most beloved blues bashers. They have been huffing and puffing and blowing houses down on a nightly basis on their infinite world tour and always bring an elevated level of rough and ready intensity to contemporary lo-fi blues with their explosive fire ceremony! ”A Daddy Long Legs show is equal parts roots rock, blues and guttural soul, stripping down old standards and making them shiny and new again. Some of the originals are like an all-out spiritual revival, while others are hauntingly beautiful.” 

Daddy Long Legs is the coolest, most authentically groovy band you’ve never heard of. Or maybe you’re a longtime follower of their original home, the indie label Norton Records, and the trio has been on your radar since their debut nearly a decade ago. Even better, maybe you’ve had the immense pleasure of boogie-ing to their music at a live performance over the past few years. Now, this Rhythm & Blues street gang,  released their eagerly anticipated fourth studio album Street Sermons. The album is a testament to triumph over adversity. Written & recorded in the height of the pandemic against a backdrop of political tension, riots in the streets and an uncertain future. In dark times Daddy Long Legs shine their light- Street Sermons is an album of the times, for the times by a band of the people. 

The group fled the madness of the city to record Street Sermons at Old Soul Studios in Catskill, NY with Oakley Munson (Black Lips/Nude Party) producing. Cutting 12 killer tracks , the trio morphed into a quartet with Oakley stepping in on keyboards and piano. The LP also features  guest appearances from John Sebastian (Lovin’ Spoonful) and Wreckless Eric of “Whole Wide World” fame. Street Sermons kind of starts as a punk album and changes to a blues album at the halfway point. This record incorporates quite a few different genres all at once and uses a lot of unconventional instruments to a point where it’s hard to imagine the tracks without them.

04/07: Rotterdam, NL - Rotterdam Bluegrass Festival
