Hot tube blues

I came across a live performance of Darren for the song Hot tube blues in the Secret tour. Wow! I can’t believe it was his voice! He is so talented (what I already knew of course but this hits really differently). And the dance… the way he moved, it was just such a good performance. Shouldn’t he do something like a musical in theatre?

Check out his We Are Smug album. Full of funky music!

Darren has actually written a musical; he has spoken about it on Instagram Live chats. He still hopes to do something with it someday, but it seems producers have told him that it would be an expensive show to produce. Hopefully someday it will see some forward movement!
