Hello music fans ! I am Dakota ( for those of you who don’t know me ). I am honored to be here with you today to take you on a little musical journey and introduce you to the master of lyrical storytelling. Chris de Burgh is an accomplished musical genius. Born Christopher John Davison, October of 1948, De Burgh is an incendiary British-Irish singer-songwriter and renowned instrumentalist, commanding vocals, guitar and piano. Most notably recognised for his 1986 love ballad "The Lady in Red,” and his eerie classic “ Don’t Pay The Ferryman,” he has composed and performed a career-long repertoire of some 300 amazing songs, or stories, as he calls them. Having sold over 50 million albums worldwide from 1974 to present and having Number One hits on the charts in 47 different countries with his true to form rock-n-roll pieces offering notably elements of soft rock / pop / art rock, even Caribbean and Celtic genres, it is safe to praise De Burgh’s honest talent and unparalleled artistry. Through his music, this evocative songwriter speaks of equality, world peace, justice, religion, love, war, travel, and family... always inspiring his listeners in a passionately sensitive manner. The symbiotic relationship between this sensational singer and his musical instruments is not only hypnotic to witness in a live concert, but is equally breathtaking to hear this said connection via vinyl on the old turntable. Through his timeless music and beautiful story-telling, Chris de Burgh is in a league of his own and continues to inspire his devoted fans,like me, around the world with his unique musical footprint.“ There is always hope in the human heart for better days ahead”, this quote by de Burgh himself clearly articulates what this sensational performer expresses with his words and music! So there you have it folks …Chris de Burgh, a true musical virtuoso! Thank you.
