Daryl Hance
From Jacksonville, Florida
First Twin Cities show on MN Live's calendar
From last.fm:
Daryl Hance is an American singer/guitarist and founding member of JJ Grey & Mofro (originally billed as Mofro), a soul/funk/R&B/blues/southern rock band from Jacksonville, Florida. Conjuring up a soothing air of smolderingly hypnotic bluesy guitar passages and rock solid funky grooves, Hance is an artist who sings his songs and his guitar with a cool abandonment. Contrasting from dark and brooding to a recognition and celebration of all things, his songs and music are as much about the moment we all live in as they are a reflection of experiences that span a lifetime.
