Will Dailey Returns With New Music for Annual End of Year Hometown Show 

December 9th show at Crystal Ballroom in Somerville 

Follows Tour in France

(Somerville, MA) Singer-songwriter Will Dailey is coming home to celebrate a new single with his annual year-end hometown show set for the Crystal Ballroom in Somerville. This year the hometown show has new meaning as Dailey is about to hit the road, embarking on a tour across France starting on Thanksgiving Day. This tour is more than three years in the making and marks Dailey’s first return to Europe since the pandemic began. The December 9th show will be the Boston area native’s first performance after the French tour. Dailey will also release a new single “Christmas, Of Course“ later this month. The Loyal Seas (Tanya Donelly and Brian Sullivan) will open. Tickets are on sale now at WillDailey.com.
Written, recorded and produced by Will, “Christmas, of Course” is a morose and tragically comical look at the holiday season. Will wrote the song to capture his, and many other artists' feelings, about the pandemic’s impact on the music industry and survival over the past couple years.

“These past two-plus years have felt like a constant game of catchup,” said Dailey. “Many artists are performing shows now that were set up years ago. We are all just ready for a clean slate in 2023.”

Will Dailey is an acclaimed independent recording and performing artist. His sound has been described as having a rich vintage vibe while having a firm appreciation of AM rock, pop and big hooks leading famed Rock journalist Dan Aquilante to call him “the real deal”. Dailey's latest album, National Throat, has been met with stellar reviews, over 8 million spins on Spotify, top 20 on Billboard HeatSeeker chart and won Album of the Year in the Boston Music Awards, New England Music Awards and Improper Bostonian Magazine. Dailey, who is already a three-time winner of the Boston Music Award for Best Singer/Songwriter and two time winner for Male vocalist also won Artist of the Year in 2014.  Most recently in 2016 he shared the stage with Eddie Vedder in Chicago this summer, joining him for 5 songs for the Hot Stove Cool Music Benefit and was direct support for G Love’s summer tour. In June of 2013 he was featured on a Stephen King/John Mellencamp project produced by T Bone Burnett called Ghost Brothers Of Darkland County and, in that same year, also released an original song he wrote inspired by Jack Kerouac's Tristessa.  In September of 2013 he played his fourth Farm Aid Concert alongside Neil Young, Willie Nelson, Dave Matthews and John Mellencamp. Dailey's music has been featured on over 50 TV programs and films and is now back in the studio recording some exclusive material for fans and the follow up to National Throat in 2017. Dailey has become an artist to watch not just now but indefinitely.

Dailey is coming off a wild tour via a successful podcast where he covered the live music scene of 10 US cities. "Sound of Our Town” is a travel podcast about the music in the next town you visit: Where to go to hear and experience the best music and why; what sounds shaped that city or town’s culture and what new sounds continue to define it. Produced by Double Elvis and presented by iHeart Radio. Season one of “Sound of the Town” is available on all major podcast platforms. 

When Dailey is not touring, he is known for his charitable work. As the spread of COVID-19 canceled many live events around the world, the Boston music vet performed over 90 shows and 40 livestreams, and raised more than $32,000 for furloughed venue employees, artists, and the community of Chelsea, Massachusetts.

Tickets for Will Dailey live at Crystal Ballroom on December 9, 2022 are on sale now at WillDailey.com. The Crystal Ballroom is located at 55 Davis Square, Somerville, MA.
