Christopher Dallman - Live In LA

On July 19, 2010, gifted singer/songwriter Christopher Dallman had a show at the Hotel Cafe in LA. Appearing with Dallman that night were George Stanford and Sarah Roberts. He has chosen five songs from his setlist, and is releasing those songs on a live EP, appropriately called Live In LA.



The collection starts out with the gorgeous song Ghosts, originally found on his EP, Never Was. It has a lovely yet haunted feel, with a touch of self-realization mixed with melancholia. In fact, you can check out the video of the performance below. Next up is Subterranean, which Dallman released as a single last fall. It was a beautiful studio recording, but there is something about the live recording that just adds another layer, a greater texture, that I just love. Mistake, from his debut album Race The Light, brings me back to when I first discovered Chris' immense talent, and fell in love. Over My Head was also on Race The Light, as well as a B-side for the marriage equality single Anthem. It is another lush song written by the singer. The final cut on the EP is Hard To Breathe, which was the first released on YouTube, sung from Chris' living room. I am so glad I have a copy for my iPod! And, after listening to the new EP, I can't wait to see Christopher performing live again soon.

The great news is you can buy this album exclusively from Bandcamp for just $5.00. It is quick and easy - I did it the first chance I got. Click here, and buy it - you won't regret it for a moment. You can also check out Christopher at his official website here. But first, do yourself a favor and buy the new EP, Live In LA, now!

Live Show with Christopher Dallman

Tonight, I am at a live show of Christopher Dallman [website here] at the Rockwood Music Hall, and I hope to reporting back on how spectacular it was very soon. Until then, I will leave you with a couple of performances by Christopher caught on tape. The first is Right On Time, from his debut album, Race The Light. I bought it several years ago, and have been a fan of the man since.



Dallman also released an EP of his own takes on the music of Britney Spears, called Sad Britney. It is really incredible, a collection I still listen to all the time. This is Gimme More.



And, finally, Dallman released Never Was, an EP with original tunes written by this talented man. If you don't have it already, you really should buy it now. This song from that EP is called Ghosts.



The show starts at 9PM, and I cannot wait. It will be the first time I've seen him performing live, and it should be fantastic!
