Worried Well

You get to a point when it’s not about anything at all other than expressing yourself in the most honest and natural way possible. This is what seasoned songwriter Daniel James has accomplished with Worried Well. By scaling back the traditional rock instrumentation, James has made the focus of Worried Well rely solely upon the message and the tense feel of his desperate and poetic songwriting. James and drummer/multi-instrumentalist Cam Jones have turned their two-man band into a New England indie staple in just two short years, touring the northeast and performing with such acts as Murder By Death, The Gay Blades, Drag The River and Gin Blossoms. A well received self-titled record was released in late 2011. James recorded the record himself to set the raw, organic tone that the band have become known for. 2012 saw the band working with producer TJ Swan (Starfight studio) and veteran recording engineer Dean Baltulonis (The Hold Steady, Ra Ra Riot, Piebald) at The Wild Arctic studio to produce their first full-length record. The product of months of pre-production and weeks of studio time, "Luck" will be released May 7th, 2013. Worried Well continues to perform in their native New England and beyond, all the while gaining new fans with their desperate and poetic approach to a sound that is scathingly articulate and delivered with sincere honesty.
