Best Fit presents Daniel Romano at The Lexington, London
Country Music is a study in contrasts. There’s glitz and grit, reveling and wallowing, wretchedness and showmanship.
Country music’s pioneers wore their battered hearts on sequined sleeves. From Bakersfield to Galveston, the legends traded their tragicomic highs and lows for gold records and white Cadillacs. But that was then; the days of Buckaroos, Nudie Suits and various Hanks are over, save for the museum displays. To quote a George Jones title track, “Who’s Gonna Fill Their Shoes?”
Enter Daniel Romano, a songwriter who delivers mosey croonin’ and hard luck storytelling. While references to marquee names like Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings and Merle Haggard are apparent in Romano’s music, the obvious influences certainly don’t demystify his talent. Romano works with equal parts authenticity and creativity, and his musical world is rich with archetypes and archrivals, wry observations and earnest confessions.
After a mesmerising show at North London's The Horatia back in June, Daniel Romano and his band The Trilliums return to the capital in 2016 for a very special show at The Lexington. Support comes from newcomers Kacy & Clayton.
