About Me

NOW AVAILABLE ON iTUNES: MY HEART|YOUR SHIELD!
...working on the summer schedule- put your city on the list!! Click "demand" below!!
Allo, this is Jen for Dear Daystar. Quite excited to announce: the 6-track EP My Heart|Your Shield is NOW AVAILABLE ON iTUNES (in the US, UK, all of Europe, Japan, Canada, Australia, and yes, for you kiwis, New Zealand too) and RHAPSPODY!! Please take a look, post your comments, and- if your good heart is so inclined, buy it! If you have, THANK you, and I love you.... And I've had some questions about what happened to fundraising. Short story: it's still happening. Profits from My Heart|Your Shield benefit the victims of the Israeli-Palestine conflict, as well as refugee relief worldwide, so your support is not one-way; it's global. ----
"With the release of My Heart|Your Shield, Dear Daystar begins a journey with you to explore the art and history of the human heart. The EP's six tracks bring to life images and stories drawn from a wide range of influences, from medieval epic poems to Victorian novels, to the latest films and music. What results is a concoction of melodramatic ballads, piano rock, acoustic, soundtrack, and quirky folk. Attached to each song are lyrics with equally diverse topics that range from force-fitting social glass slippers to donning wax wings in search of the ideals of the medical profession, to the irony of giving up one's happiness out of love. Dear Daystar pulls contemporary issues and classic themes into a new blend of music and serves it up as an intriguing remedy for "welded eyes", reminding us all to live and breathe with history at heart and the future in mind. This is the music of incoming artist Dear Daystar. Hear it here first."Thanks for coming by the page, and hope to see you soon!------- Jen, dd.
