Chicago multi-instumentalist Darren Garvey keeps busy playing in the Andreas Kapsalis Trio, Cameron McGill & What Army, Cory Chisel and The Wandering Sons, and Like Pioneers (ex-Bound Stems) to name a few. You can usually find him behind a drum set or some form of percussion set up… But, this year Garvey took it upon himself to record a solo record; writing 13 songs, singing for the first time, and playing all of the instruments. How does it sound? Well, it’s as eclectic as all of the bands that Garvey holds down the rhythm for. ‘On Standby’ is a latin tune with some guest horns (ok, he didn’t play all of the instruments). Technically he wasn’t able to sing the female background vocals either… You can hear more of Darren’s debut Under A Common Ceiling at his website.
