A wry sense of humour, some theatre of unease, and a voice classed as not conventionally beautiful all combine to breathe life and space into the niche he has carved out for himself, winning him critical acclaim across the world for his original take on things.His seminal influence and work with Marlon Williams on their Sad But True series as well as his visionary production on Tami Neilson’s acclaimed album’s Dynamite, Don’t Be Afraid and Chickaboom!, have also earned him great praise from the media and huge respect amongst his peers. Sync placements in The Expanse, Nashville TV Series, Bad Sisters, and Brokenwood Mysteries have taken Delaney’s music globally.

Baby Heavyweight, born in a kitchen in Switzerland, is Delaney Davidson’s 11th solo album. Somewhat more groovy than his previous releases, this is the second album he has made with Merk (Mark Perkins). Building on the smooth depth of the previous album Out Of My Head, and taking it into a new realm of story telling and emotive music.

‍

Hitting the road with a stacked band featuring Heather Webb, Cass Basil, Alex Freer and Ryan Fisherman, Delaney sets his sights on a show that will deliver the album in all its complexity and nuance. Truly something to be witnessed. Do Not Miss Out.
