Justin Currie
10 May 2012 7:30 PM
Buxton Opera House
Scottish singer/songwriter Justin Currie is most famous for his role as founder member and front man of Del Amitri. Currently working as a successful solo artist, Justin’s music is dominated by strong imagery and storytelling, powerful yet understated vocals and a sound that, whilst firmly rooted in nineties pop-rock, translates beautifully into modern, urban ballads. With influences from Nick Cave, Crowded House and Mark Lanegan, his music is hauntingly dark, yet refreshingly uplifting. Read more about this event … or
