Show Description

"Saying Currie knows how to craft a song is a bit like saying Caravaggio could paint, but the sideburned Scot's solo debut may prove to be his masterwork." - 4 Stars, MOJO

Thought by many to be a significantly underrated songwriter, Justin Currie's new album may prove to be his crowning jewel, with critical acclaim  from such notable publications as MOJO, USA Today, and Q already rolling in.  Justin Currie is famed for having a voice which gives resonance to these wonderful lyrics as his vocal tone is crystal clear. What Is Love For features 11 Currie compositions whose pensive meditations on love's darker margins are supported by spare, organic arrangements.  The haunting title track and others on the album confront their thorny subject matter with a compelling blend of hard-won insight and pointed humor.  Currie plays a multitude of instruments on the album (acoustic guitar, piano, bass, electric guitar, synth and organ) alongside a collection of players including Currie's longtime Del Amitri partner Iain Harvie and fellow Del Amitri alumnus Andy Alston.  Tonight Currie performs an all acoustic set.
