Darryl Purpose is a Sure Bet

Darryl Purpose

Darryl Purpose says he's never had a real job, earning his living either from blackjack or making music, but he's worth every cent and more. Determined to live outside the box, Darryl's music regales the listener with beauty, inspiration, & free-flowing spirituality. His quirky contrarianism led him from a life of gambling into music via the Great Peace March for Nuclear Disarmament, and from there into a deep connection to the Earth perched above the Rocky Mountains. One of the ways to connect with Darryl's gift of song-writing is as part of his participant-led songwriting retreat called Camp Ned, and you can hear him perform weekly on 3-song Thursday. And remember to check out his interview with Cheryl Prashker called The Folk Pod.

Past/present religious/spiritual influences: Catholic, Buddhism, Earth-centered spirituality

Great interview with Darryl. It made me want to hear an interview with Paul Zollo. Paul interviewed some of the greatest song writers. From those interviews he published a book: Songwriters on Songwriting.
