I created my layout at KillerKiwi.netWhile weaving tales of love, heartache and fantasy in his intensely dark and mystical style, as well as playing some of the South's top venues, Dan Shears is proving himself to be one of London's more interesting and captivating singer/songwriters. Beautifully flowing vocal melodies, with lyrics that bring to mind carnival-esque lullabies written by a much older soul, cascade over delicate and intricate guitar-work and songs so immersed in passion and pathos that they're sure to haunt the memory long after the first listen. An interesting mix of influences from acts such as Jeff Buckley and Morrissey with the folk music of Russia and Eastern Europe and a voice that sounds as though he is singing from his very soul. Every inch of him is yours... please be gentle.
