Paul Curreri and Devon Sproule are on tour and coming to the UK.
In November 2005 I saw and heard Paul Curreri for the first time. He was the support act for Kelly Joe Phelps and I don’t mind stating that Mr. Phelps had a hell of a tough time trying to follow a really inspired and energetic performance from this fella.
I was impressed so much that my wife purchased ‘Songs For Devon Sproule’ as a gift for me. The choice of album was due to it being produced by Kelly Joe Phelps and the fact that ‘From Long Gones to Hawk Moth’ was sold out. I was happy to hear any of his records and was pleased to see ‘Greenville’ and ‘Letting Us Be’ on the track list (two tracks that stood out). I was floored by the charm of this record and its subtlety.
Since then I’ve managed to catch Paul Curreri each time he’s been in town and purchase a few more of his records. Each time I’ve been impressed by his music and his performance.
He really is a greatly kept secret.
