Scarborough Fair

Dan performs ‘Strange Fruit’, a powerful song made famous by Billie Holiday, who first sang and recorded it in 1939. 

Written by teacher Abel Meeropol as a poem and published in 1937, it protested American racism, particularly the lynching of African Americans. Such lynchings had reached a peak in the South at the turn of the century, but continued there and in other regions of the United States. Meeropol set it to music and, with his wife and the singer Laura Duncan, performed it as a protest song in New York venues in the late 1930s, includingMadison Square Garden.




Strange Fruit (Jeff Buckley - Billie Holiday)

In my practice room rehearsing a new song, 'The Hierophant and the Hermit'. Sometimes during the day rays of light emerge through the door's window and illuminate the room.

The Hierophant and the Hermit

TÆR, underneath the air calling me home from the edge
Will you ever let me in? For as long as them?

Come, go, longing to know, 
feeling much older now

Holding on, falling till gone,
 feeling much lighter now

I’ll be gone, I’ll be fine
knowing you
knowing you’re 
TÆR

TÆR, within my head, want but cannot see
when your eyes fall into mine, how they fade away

Come now, out of my dream
hair like a charcoal stone

Ribbons will fall, cover them all 
so we can build our home

But I’ll be gone, I’ll be fine
knowing you
knowing you’re 
TÆR

TÆR

Dan emerged with a self titled EP in late 2014 and has been performing regularly ever since. With an influence of Fitzgerald, Choral and Buckley-esque vocals mixed with a unique ambient score, Dan Chapman is forging his own sound that opens the mind ebbing and flowing through different emotions to captivate audiences.
SOULFUL MUSIC FOR THE IMAGINATION

“The Dan Chapman Quartet have created an accomplished collection of captivating compositions. There’s a lot of diversity displayed across the album, despite its stripped-down, back to basics approach. The result is a strikingly celestial swansong that really resonates.” – Pure M Mag
