About This Event
Colton Davies, Darlin’ and Michael Cantor play Bowery Palace in a three-act rock/pop bill. Davies favors band-forward, live-first songs built for a room, with recent appearances including Berlin alongside Turtle Rock and Cereal Monogamy. Darlin’ works across electronic and rock/pop, building sets in real time and prioritizing structure, pacing and textural detail over playback.
About Darlin'(song)
First issued in 1967 on the Beach Boys’ *Wild Honey*, “Darlin’” is a rock/pop single built on plain-spoken desire, its bite coming from Brian Wilson and Mike Love’s writing and Carl Wilson’s lead vocal. Its afterlife in New York is less about premiere history than about how club rooms keep canon in circulation, reshaping old radio forms through live sound. At Bowery Palace, Colton Davies approaches it as a band-forward piece with direct vocals and a tight, room-built arrangement. The song’s simplicity leaves nowhere to hide, which is part of its durability.
