Edwin Derricutt
About Edwin Derricutt from Auckland
“You have to be good to be in the company of Bob Dylan, Soaud Massi, Tom Waits and so on. This singer-songwriter flies through on a first hearing ... ” Graham Reid, Elsewhere, Symmetry review
Edwin Derricutt was born in Napier, New Zealand, his mother a Salvation Army musician who once formed a harmonica band in the UK, and his father a talented joiner and shop-fitter. Design and music go hand in hand for Derricutt, being both a qualified architect and an accomplished guitarist.
2010 marks the release of Edwin Derricutt's second full-length solo ablum Three Hours South and follows up on his very successful independent debut release Symmetry (2006) which included five singles across New Zealand and Australian independent radio. The title track 'Symmetry' entered the Top 100 NZ Radio chart without any commercial airplay and 'Cold as Ice' was featured on the April 2008 NZ On Air Kiwi Hit Disc. Music videos for both tracks playlisted on Juice TV, Channel 63 and C4 networks in New Zealand. After releasing singles in Australia Derricutt gained the accolate of being the only New Zealand artist to appear on Australia's TRAA top 100 songs chart in 2008.
If Symmetry was the reflective, soulful and chilled side of Edwin's skilled acoustic guitar playing and tune-crafting, Three Hours South picks up where the previous albums title track 'Symmetry' left off. A full band offering, toe-tapping, lighter, cheekier and an infectiously singable collection of pop songs.
