Tom Waits depicted the poor, the punks, the hobos and the lost. He could also write a love song to shatter Cupid’s bow. D’Arrietta covers this terrain of tenderness to terror, and all the pathos in between. He has a long relationship with the music, and an affinity deeper than most having developed the hit show over two decades. One of the 10 best shows at Edinburgh Fringe according to the UK’s The Sunday Times, his characteristic gravel-voiced sensitivity brings out the shapes and shades of legendary songs such as Invitation to the Blues, Martha, and the wrenching Tom Traubert’s Blues.Drawing on personal experiences, as well as Wait's vast musical history, Stewart D’Arrietta shares his love affair with the 'prince of melancholy's' brilliant songs. Waits' colourful misfits come to life in this powerful, poignant and innovative show.
In his inimitable way, D’Arrietta adds humour, joy and a whole new dimension to the music.
If you’re not already a Tom Waits fan, or a Stewart D’Arrietta fan, you will be after this!
