Following their sensational performance at Shepherd’s Bush Empire earlier this month, Daryl Hall and Rumer team up again on a six-song set which includes Daryl Hall & John Oates hits “Sara Smile” and “I Can’t Go for That (No Can Do),” covers of Gil Scott-Heron and Philly soul legend William DeVaughn“Be Thankful for What You Got.”

Rumer says: “When I met Daryl, I was literally stunned. I never really understood what ‘being in the presence of greatness’ actually meant until I was standing in a room, playing music with Daryl and his amazing band.”

In addition to the six-song set will the Atlantic Records singer/songwriter perform two songs from her acclaimed debut, Seasons of My Soul in “Slow” and “Take Me As I Am.

“His musical presence is so incredible, that l kept thinking, ‘How did I get in here?” Rumer says. “Daryl Hall is a genius, a living legend who continues to write and record amazing music. He told me at dinner that his aim in life was to ‘blow people away.’ Now I know what that feels like.”

Daryl was suitably impressed with the singer/songwriter. “Since having her on the show, I have spent some time with Rumer, and we have quickly become friends. She is an interesting and impressive combination of spirituality and down-to-earth ‘centeredness’
that gives her a unique perspective on what we all do as musicians and communicators.  I think her seemingly ‘smooth’ style frames a very passionate view toward life.  More power to her.”

Live from Daryl’s House is being shown weekly in over 80% of U.S. homes in the nation’s top 200 media markets, as well as all of the top 10, including New York (WPIX), L.A.

Last night the legendary Daryl Hall performed to a sold-out audience at Shepherd’s Bush Empire with special guest appearances from KT Tunstall and Rumer.

With a backdrop straight from his hit web television show, Live From Daryl’s House, he took to the stage to a roar of applause. The audience clapped along appreciatively as he played a mix of classics ‘Man Eater’, ‘Private Eyes’ and ‘Out of Touch’, along with tracks from his new album ‘Laughing Down Crying’

Scottish singer songwriter KT Tunstall joined Daryl for ‘If Only’ and ‘Black Horse and the Cherry Tree’. She was clearly delighted to be performing with one of her heroes, and couldn’t resist hugging him before leaving the stage for Rumer to come on.

Slowing things down, Rumer and Daryl performed ‘Slow’ and ‘Sara Smile’. In a quick break between songs, Daryl was inundated with requests from all corners of the room, to which he replied “I’ll play all of them!”

After ‘Can’t Go For That’, featuring an impressive five minute long saxophone solo, the band briefly exited the stage, returning with Tunstall and Rumer for ‘Rich Girl’ and ‘You Make My Dreams’.

As the audience filtered out, it was clear from the look on their faces that Daryl is still a man on the top of his game, with a wealth of performing experience to draw from.
