An Innocent Evening Of Drinking

Declan Bennett is a dynamic acoustic singer-songwriter with a hard-hitting, witty and poetic way with words, unique take on life and unashamed and honest tales of life, love and sexuality, which have already won him a diverse and devoted fan base around the UK, across the US and beyond... Declan is no stranger to fame, with mainstream chart success by the age of 20 as part of a pop/rock outfit; a lead role in an award-winning West End show at 21; and most recently a starring role as Roger in cult rock opera RENT on an eight-month US tour and a seven-month run of the show on Broadway New York.. From the moment Declan began introducing his solo repertoire at intimate unplugged nights around London a few years ago under the pseudonym sumladfromcov, he began to get repeated requests for recorded material from a rapidly expanding fan base. Having already experienced the frustration that writing for a major label could entail, he decided to go it alone, and, in 2005, brought out his debut album, 'The Painters Ball', on his own label Covboy Records.. Over the past few years Declan been playing numerous respected acoustic venues and festivals around the UK (as well as turning up in a few unexpected places, including a live set for the cool festival club favourite Silent Disco at Wychwood Festival), so gaining a solid UK fanbase.
