Tony Daunt is onstage, slicked-back hair, Gretsch guitar and wearing an iconic black Country and Western patterned shirt. The five-piece band has more beards than the Twitter boardroom. They run through a nice Country Americana set with the tone on downbeat and melancholy.
After years of backing other artists and playing in bands such as The Grifters and Swampland, Tony Daunt has released his first album under his own name. The Gypsy features Tony’s band, The Dauntless along with 10 of Tony’s compositions.
Things were hopping at St Kevin’s Arcade last night. The Wine Cellar put on a triple bill headlined by Tony Daunt & The Dauntless who were there to celebrate the release of their new album, The Gypsy.
