New self-penned album inspires new Locorriere date at Worthing Pavilion
Just a few weeks after the release of Dennis Locorriere’s new album Post Cool, the much-loved local and singer whose distinctive voice features on every Dr Hook hit will visit the Pavilion Theatre in Worthing.
As the lead singer with Dr Hook, Dennis Locorriere featured on over 60 gold and platinum-selling albums, with songs such as If Not You, Sylvia‘s Mother and When You‘re In Love With A Beautiful Woman. Dr Hook’s angst-filled songs made them one of America’s most successful acts of the 70s and 80s, now Dennis’ solo career continues to attract famous fans as his self-penned hits are recorded by artists such as Bob Dylan and Willie Nelson.
This year sees the release of Dennis’ first real studio album as a solo artist. Post Cool features 13 original Locorriere tracks sung in Dennis’ passionate style. Dennis will be performing live with his band at the Worthing concert and will air some of the new album material for the first time alongside the Dr Hook tracks
Dennis will be joined by Andy Fairweather Low who originally rose to fame as vocalist and teenage heart throb of Amen Corner. His distinctive voice can be heard on tracks such as Hello Suzie, Bend Me Shape Me, Gin House Blues and the international hit (If Paradise Is) Half As Nice.
The early 1970s saw Andy emerge as a talented singer-songwriter who had three classic albums, Spider Jining, La Booga Rooga and Mega Shebang. He then became the guitar player of choice for many artists over the next 25 years and played with some of the biggest names in music including Eric Clapton, George Harrison, Jimi Hendrix, Elton John, Dave Gilmour, The Who, BB King and Joe Cocker.
More recently Andy re-launched his solo career with the album Sweet Soulful Music and is now touring Europe with his band The Low Riders and joining Dennis, as he will in Worthing, to create an evening of music by two influential songwriters and musicians.
The gig is at the Pavilion Theatre, Marine Parade, Worthing. BN11 3PX on Saturday April 03, doors at 7.30pm.
