Here's one for all you live music fans....



Derrin Nauendorf is a singer/songwriter who really has built his reputation and fan base from the ground up. In the past 5 years, he has played close to 1000 shows around the globe, most of them in the UK. Renowned for his intense live shows and raw emotive music he has been invited to play in hundreds of towns and venues, has played dozens of festivals and is now a main stage act at these events. He has done all of this simply by word of mouth. No management, no publicity, nothing. Just an intense spirit for the music he plays and the people he plays for.

Derrin's ever growing fan base has now reached a point where the music industry just had to sit up and listen. "I never chased a record deal or anything like that" says Derrin, "I just always thought I will do what I do and if it is meant to be it would come, but if not, I have a great life doing what I love, playing music. That is success to me anyway. Anything else is just a bonus."

Things are changing rapidly for Derrin. Whilst selling almost 12 thousand albums (yes you read that right!) from the back of his car in that time, he has never had a commercially released album until now. "The Rattling Wheel" the new studio album, is the first that will be available to the general public and is sure to take him from being an underground phenomenon into the mainstream.

Derrin is a singer songwriter, but his music is very hard to categorise. Untamed acoustic guitar, cutting lyrics and a powerful evocative voice that sounds lived in. It is made up of many roots styles, blues, folk, Americana but is also none of these. "The Rattling Wheel" sounds like a Derrin Nauendorf album. Honest songs, delivered with raw passion, but twisted to sound unique so it can only sound like him.

In the world of manufactured artists and music business people, Derrin is one of those artists that keep your faith in music alive. Music played by humans not computers, played with passion and spirit whilst tirelessly taking it on the road to people all over the world.
