At their best, singer/songwriters provide a link to the past while embodying their own times — and there is no better example of this continuum than Will Dailey, the award-winning Boston singer/songwriter who returned in 2009 with Torrent 1-2. Dailey's music may be rooted in classic rock — as he says, "It's part of your vernacular growing up" — but his songs aren't stuck in the past, they're vital, beautiful tunes about the here and now. And there's no better illustration of how Dailey is all about the present than Torrent, which is not an album in the conventional sense: it's an ongoing project. Call Torrent a conversation between artist and audience, as it invites listeners to follow Dailey on his journey as an artist, to witness how he writes and records songs, to be part of his creative process. Will is no stranger to Life is good or the festival stage, having played events for the company in the past and appearing at Farm Aid in 2008 and 2009.
