2019's Entertainment
Daryl McDade & SOUL XL
Daryl McDade was born in Memphis, Tennessee, where he spent a lot of his time in his young years at the infamous Blues hang-out "Beale Street,” finding a platform of Gospel, Blues, Soul and Roots music. As a 27 year old artist Daryl married and moved to Norway. Daryl is a singer, songwriter, composer, artist and master guitarist – and he plays a mean harmonica to boot! He formed the SOULXL band combining the best of Soul, Blues and funky Jazz. The band performs classics, all the while mindful of respecting the integrity of the artists’ original compositions.
