Colton Davies | Darlin' | Michael Cantor
About This Event
Colton Davies, Darlin', and Michael Cantor play a late-night bill at Bowery Palace. Davies and Darlin' favor live-first approaches—tight, band-forward rock/pop from Davies and real-time, texture-focused electronic/rock work from Darlin'—while Cantor brings straightforward folk-pop songwriting. The lineup emphasizes clarity and pacing over spectacle, foregrounding performance craft in a club setting.
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.
