DANNY MCCRUM & BEN JURISICH OPEN FOR BRYAN FERRY & JOAN ARMATRADING!! |
On December 3rd and 4th Danny McCrum and Ben Jurisich opened for Bryan Ferry and Joan Armatrading at the Logan Campbell Centre in Auckland, to rave reviews. They played a hard hitting thirty minute set which included songs from their new album and a surprisingly original version of 'Ain't no Sunshine'. Even journalist Graham Reid was impressed with the enthusiastic reaction they got, which is hard to achieve as a support act. |

NEW ALBUM OUT NOW!
Danny McCrum Band's new album 'Awake & Restless' was released on November 10th and is available nationwide in
leading music stores.
| Listen to samples of the new songs here | To enquire about buying a copy, email us here |

"...a rock band with unexpected twists. Driven by joint guitar mastery, which means lead and rhythm roles can be swapped at will, it rocks along... undemanding, soulful rock and blues, but with a healthy quotient of pop and even the odd jazz sensibility."
Richard Thorne
NZ Musician Magazine
"...smart pop-rock album from an Auckland singer-songwriter and his tight, crackling band..."
Graham Reid
www.elsewhere.co.nz & The Herald
"After listening endlessly to your superb album - I've gotta say that lyrically, musically , technically it is one of the best CD's that I have heard in a long time..."
Melanie Brown
The Country Radio Network
"Danny McCrum's voice is faultless....he nails every song."
Waikato Times
"Make no mistake, I’m anything but a big fan of New Zealand music. For the most part, it strikes me as dull, uninspiring and downright boring, to be blunt, but there are a couple of exceptions - the bulk of the work produced by Dave Dobbyn, Neil and Tim Finn in their various guises (Split Enz, Crowded House), and Bo Runga (Stellar*) invariably oozes quality musicianship from highly accomplished practitioners of their craft.
Expect The Danny McCrum Band to join that elite list sooner rather than later, on the evidence of this performance. Less than three weeks after launching their maiden album, they kicked off this concert with a stylish two-man acoustic set, Ben Jurisich and the band’s founder plucking guitar strings in eye-and-ear-catching fashion."

ELITE MUSIC DISTRIBUTING NEW ALBUM!

'THESE DIRTY DAYS'
For the last year Danny McCrum and Ben Jurisich have been stunning audiences all over the country with their duo show, including the two very successful nights supporting Bryan Ferry and Joan Armatrading in December. Crossing all musical boundaries and breaking many musical rules, the show is unpredictable and always exciting. After pressure from friends and fans, they have finally recorded their first duo CD. This EP is like no other.
