An old soul in a new age, Derren Raser stands out from the monotonous fray of
popular music. Witty, well-spoken and wise beyond his 20-something years,
singer-songwriter Raser will move you with his thoughtful lyrics and haunting
melodies. His ballads are old-fashioned folk stories and beautiful tributes to
love lost and found.
A prolific songwriter, Derren combines lively folk-rock and classic
singer-songwriter traditions with the hard edge of contemporary pop and rock
influences, he has honed a cutting edge sound that is immediately both fresh and
familiar. His music has been described as "Simon and Garfunkel meets the Shins."
It is music that sounds equally at home on an old dusty hi-fi or in a sleek new
iPod.
A unique and abundant talent, Derren will continue to share the stage with
greats like Ben Taylor, Sonya Kitchell, Hem, Ollabelle, Garrison Starr, Arnold
McCuller, Richie Cannata and more.

Hey, Derren! It was great to get to meet you last Friday night. Welcome to Southern Illinois! We think you'll like it here; there are plenty of great places for musicians to play here.
Darren, You were one of my first MySpace friends over 3 years ago. It's been great watching your music develop. You're on the right track. But I got to tell you that Streets Of London is still one of my favorite songs. --KB
