Roger Chapman Dark Side of the Stairs new album out 25 06 2021
Roger Chapman has announced that he will release a new solo album, Life In The Pond, through Ruf Records on June 25. Life In The Pond, Chappo s first studio outing since 2009 s Hide Go Seek, reunites him with faces from his past including Family s Poli Palmer as cowriter, producer and guest guitar from Procol Harum s Geoff Whitehorn, while connecting the dots between his early influences and taking the pulse of modern life. Theres nostalgia for the different musical styles that influenced my life, says Chapman. American rock from the 50s to now. British RnB from the 60s, like Georgie Fame, the Stones, Zoot Money. Folk. Blues. Motown. Stax. Blue Note jazz. Classical. Americana. Country. A whole mess of influences. Mostly its anger at politicians thats kept me fired up. But Im also influenced by daily happenings, world news, people, acquaintances. Its all in the lyrics
