Darren Fisher, arrived on this planet appropriately in near proximity to Glastonbury. From as early as he can remember he has been surrounded by rock and roll.
His father was also a passionate musician and bohemian, as were most of his friends.
Darren's music is pure and true to his existence and experiences.
Like Dylan, he is a poet of uncompromising truth. His lyrics take you on his continual journey, a journey that through his music, is depicted with a heart that is pure and open to all.
His forthcoming debut album "Feathers And Oak Trees" is the perfect introduction to this great talent.
A singer songwriter and guitarist, whose vocal style is passionate and easily produced.
His guitar playing is technical, yet flows with utter ease from his hands.
He is ultimately: a real Artist and Poet.
So if it is a true artist that you seek,
Darren Fisher is your man
‘Life is change…and change is pain’. Darren Fisher is not the first artist to depict our craving for love — to sketch our collective desperation — through the paintbrush of musical poetry. What ranks this album with other great works, is the grace of a living philosophy; a vision... both born and ready to be realised. ‘Feathers and Oak Trees’ does not limit itself to the daggers of greed or the horror and beauty in death; it is also a celebration of long summer nights playing music, getting high, laughing: embracing the ancient, and all-but-forgotten, gift of life.
My most alive memories resound with Darren in the dingy flats and open fields of Brighton, where we plotted to wake the masses from their sterile dream. This album catapults me back into that majestic frame of mind — which Mr Fisher has always inhabited, and he will continue to radiate universally through his music.
Feathers And Oak Trees - A review by Rose Lee
This debut album is the freshest most organic homegrown album I’ve heard this last decade. Not overly trying to sound retro or cool. But succeeding in capturing the essence of what many of the great song writers of our time have done. The likes of ’The Band’, ’Dylan’, ’The Wallflowers’, ’Counting Crows’, and ’REM’ spring to mind. This album is just full of great tracks. The soundtrack to a future summer I feel. Stand out tracks have to be 'Madaran', 'Emily', and ’Ain’t got time’. However the album seller has to be the song ’Changed’, a modern tale of the recent events of the world. Darren Fisher sings with a passion so intense that a fleet of firefighters would struggle to put this guys inferno of emotion out. This is definately my album of the year. So don’t hold back, BUY THIS ALBUM!!
