Polaris, the new album by Dan Korn & Joe Sharp, will be released on 19th July 2019. The launch event will take place at The Slaughtered Lamb in London on the same date.

Singer-songwriter Dan Korn weaves beguiling melodies around exquisitely-crafted lyrics. His evocative songs are “laden with farewells”.

Joe Sharp is a classically-trained musician, originally from Cornwall. With Korn, he plays double bass and sings vocal harmonies, as well as contributing some of his own beautiful songs.

The pair first worked together in 2010, with Sharp playing trumpet and flugelhorn on Korn’s debut EP release, Dustbowl. This was followed by a second EP, Into The Warm (2012) and a debut LP, Of The Sea (2015). Polaris will be their first release as a duo.

Since 2015, there have been hundreds of shows across the UK and Europe, and one tour of the US. There have been performances at such notable venues as The Royal Oak in Edinburgh, 59 Rivoli in Paris, and Einstein Kultur in Munich. Festival appearances have included Mandrea, in the Italian Dolomites, and Benimaclet conFusión in Valencia.

Recorded live at Roedean Moira House Studios in Eastbourne by Frank Schulmeyer, Polaris is a project begot by two musicians and friends well known to each other. This awareness is transmuted into close vocal harmonies and intuitive interplay.

Now funny, now sad, Polaris is an intimate exploration of love and identity in the modern world. A collection of ten new and original songs presented with inimitable style, this is at once their most plainspoken and accomplished work to date.
