A unique music show is coming to South Petherton later this month.
Max ZT, a renowned hammered dulcimer player, and Black Country singer Dan Whitehouse will perform at The David Hall on Saturday, June 28.
The show is a part of their 10-date tour across the UK this month, to celebrate their album Ten Steps, with tickets for all shows available at dan-whitehouse.com/live.
The album is a mix of instrumental music, songs, and spoken word, inspired by Dan's experiences living in Tokyo.
Max ZT, described as the "Jimi Hendrix of the hammered dulcimer" by NPR, said: "Our album and our show incorporate elements of improvisation because we are trying to live in the now as much as possible.
"Musically speaking, that’s enlightenment.
"That’s the real deal."
Dan Whitehouse, known for his "subtle, delicate melodies" as praised by the Sunday Times, sings about themes of fatherhood, his life in Japan, and the US withdrawal from Afghanistan.
He said: "Ten Steps is about tapping into the mood of the present moment, going with the flow.
"After four years of playing together, we’re more fluid and in sync than ever."
The duo met online during the COVID-19 pandemic through the Global Music Match project.
Dan, who was in Japan at the time, said it was "like online dating for musicians.
"It was interesting how effortless our song-writing collaboration was, from the start."
The pair will also perform pieces from their solo repertoires, alongside their collaborative work on Ten Steps.
They hope their performances will be "a singular, unrepeatable moment of connection."
Their work has been described as "intriguing... gorgeous" by The Guardian and "exciting and exceptional... deeply intuitive, poetic and rewarding" by KLOF Mag.
Tickets for the show are priced at £17.50, with concession tickets costing £16.50.
