It was January 2020 and I was on a tour with Julianna Hatfie ld and then the world shifted on its axis. As soon as I was able\, I sta rted playing shows like I was shot out of a cannon. I went anywhere and everywhere. It was exhilarating and chaotic. We were all recovering. Try ing to get our ground back. Maybe that is just the way of things. But sp ring tour 2023 really feels like the first time that I’m back on the r oad and I know where I’m going with some wind at my back. The Firehous e is a room that is always in my dreams. It is exquisite and focused. It is the stop on this tour that makes me feel like I’m back on my path. ”\n\nWill Dailey is an acclaimed independent recording artist\, perfor mer\, artist advocate and sonic survivor. His sound has been described a s a Venndiagram of multiple genres with a rich vintage vibe that weaves through his authentic and energetic performances. There is an artistic D IY spirit fueling all of it\, bringing in the spins\, Billboard charts\, rave reviews and Boston and New England Music Awards. All inspiring fam ed rock journalist Dan Aquilante to call him “the real deal”.\n\nHe has shared the stage and studio with Eddie Vedder\, Willie Nelson\, Roge r McGuinn\, Kay Hanley\, GLove\, Steve Earle\, and Tanya Donelly. In Jun e of 2013 he was featured on a Stephen King/John Mellencamp project prod uced by T Bone Burnett called Ghost Brothers Of Darkland County and\, in that same year\, also released an original song he wrote inspired by Ja ck Kerouac’s Tristessa. Dailey has played at Farm Aid four times along side Neil Young\, Willie Nelson\, Dave Matthews and John Mellencamp. His 2018 album\, Golden Walker\, hit #1 on Billboards Northeast Heat seeker s. The BostonHerald called the album: “A new peak” and named it an A lbum of the Year.\n\nAs venues began opening their doors post pandemic i n 2022\, Dailey launched his Double Elvis/iHeartRadio produced podcast\, Sound of Our Town – that became an Apple Podcast spotlight. SOOT is a travel podcast about the music in the next town you visit: Not only whe re to go to hear and experience the best music and why\; but what sounds shaped that city or town’s culture and why live music is so vital to our current moment and our existence.\n\n2022 also saw the release of tw o new singles “Easy to Be Around” and “Christmas\, Of Course” which were featured on stations across New England (WUMB\, WXRV\, WMYV ) and named Song of the Week on Boston’s AAA station\, WERS.\n\nWith 2 023\, comes the upcoming premiere of Season 2 of Sound of Our Town. As D ailey hits the road the second season\, he is also bringing with him a s ong that only exists in recorded form on his merch table. “Cover of Cl ouds” will be with him exclusively via disc man and headphones on the merch table. A limited number of fans will be able to listen to the 7 mi nute opus dedicated to Joni Mitchell for $10 and leave their thoughts in a book that travels along with Dailey throughout 2023.\n\n10 Dollar Son g:\n\n“There is a hollowness to all our digital consuming. A tyranny o f content. Almost inhumane. As artist we throw ourselves into writing\, performing and recording. Breaking boundaries and unfollowing all the ru les. Yet when we go to share our work we fall into line. A line that lea ds our passions into a digital abyss. I’ve struggled with that. I know my peers and allies do as well. It doesn’t feel like my job as an art ist and performer should stop at the release of the music. The 10 Dollar Song is an experience with a new piece of music that can only ever happ en at my shows. The song is called “Cover of Clouds” and its a 7 min ode to a piece of art that Joni Mitchell made and how it intersected wi th my life. At each show anyone can come up to the merch table and take the headphones and disc-man (it’s a CD player) to a corner and listen to the whole song uninterrupted. A note book travels with the song so th at each person can record the date this listed and any thoughts or feeli ngs that they had. It is an individualized experience and the song will only exist here for those who want it. I don’t want it in the abyss. I t is special to me and I want to use it to provide a special experience that isn’t ubiquitous across every platform all over the world. I thin k we all deserve more of that.” URL;VALUE=URI:https://portlandmaine.com/events/will-daileys-10-song-tour -w-sarah-borges/ UID:urn:uuid:564bd73c-433b-40d7-af59-d91a67cb3daf STATUS:CONFIRMED ORGANIZER: DTSTAMP:20260625T090649Z DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230511T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230511T220000 LOCATION:181 State St.\, Portland\, Maine 04101\, US END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
