Darryl Purpose is known for his gentle, baritone, flawless fingerstyle guitar, and his unflinching songs presented with an uncommon mix of delicacy and grit. A mesmerizing storyteller, he draws from life experiences for his material, but since Darryl's life includes an L.A.-to-Washington D.C. peace march and a long-standing career as a world-class professional gambler, the resulting repertoire is uniquely rich in dramatic possibility. Darryl tours extensively and has recently released his fifth album, A Crooked Line. Allette Brooks opens.
