Details:
Darius’ first solo CD, Cardboard Confessional helped make him a feature of the vital Los Angeles music scene of the middle 80s (which included so many great neo-folkies, such as Lucinda and Victoria Williams, Rosie Flores et al). The CD came out on Gold Castle/Capitol Records (the same folk music label that at that time featured renaissance artists like Bruce Cockburn, Joan Baez, Peter, Paul and Mary, and Don McLean). See press excerpts below. The CD received radio airplay in numerous American cities, and the video for the song "White Boy Raving" was aired on MTV and other music video shows. It made Billboard Magazine''s Top Twenty Video List. You can see it on Youtube at https://www.tradebit.com
Over the years, Darius has performed at some of the USA’s most important rock and folk music venues: CBGB in NYC, the Whiskey and Roxy in L.A., the Continental Club in Austin, not to mention other venues like the South By Southwest Music Conference, New York City''s New Music Seminar, and the Shrine Auditorium. He has played on bills with Don McClean, Lucinda Williams, Los Lobos, and Guy Clark, to name a few.
He also played sitar on "Bad Karma," on the late Warren Zevon’s Sentimental Hygiene CD.
Over the years he has released four CDs. More recently he was the singer and songwriter in Burning Bridges of Malmo, Sweden. Their CD, Poor Man’s Vacation (and other Tales of the Wild and the Weary), was released in 2004. They performed at numerous festivals and clubs around Sweden from 2000 to 2005, opening shows for the likes of Sixteen Horsepower, Dr. John, Dale Watson, and others.
He is also a published poet (poetry without musical accompaniment). If you’re interested in poetry, please visit his poetry only site: https://www.tradebit.com
At present, he lives in Malmo, Sweden with his wife and two daughters.
What the Critics Say about Cardboard Confessional
”More down to the ground than even Dylan achieved in his talking blues days . . . Darius is a fresh new breed of folkie, proud of but not stuck on tradition.” Kurt Wolf, San Francisco Bay Guardian
”Every once in a while an album comes along with lyrics so wondrous, so vital, that they should be scripted on parchment, bound in fine leather and handed out . . . Darius -- songwriter or poet?” Robert J. Hawkins, San Diego Union Tribune
”Hearing Hollywood’s poet laureate in concert is always a treat . . . his lyrical abilities are still unsurpassed.” Rich Robinson, Los Angeles Reader”
”Cardboard Confessional is a veritable cornucopia of bright, lyrical wit and intelligently crafted songs . . . Darius is a unique talent.” Richard Foss, L.A. Reader and Bam Magazine
”Five fingers” (highest rating) “ . . . a breath of fresh air in a sea of smog, an LP that would surely ‘hit’ if less of us were so into the ‘me’ generation, though it still might.” In Concert Magazine
