SUMMARY:Hilltop Sessions - Darden Smith + Reema
DESCRIPTION:Hilltop Sessions Presents: Darden Smith + Reema\n\n\nIn June we
  welcome Darden Smith\, a singer-songwriter blessed with an uncommon degre
 e of intelligence\, depth\, and compassion according to AllMusic. And they
  know All Music... Support comes from Reema whose bitter-sweet\, delicate 
 folk songs explore being human.\n\nBar from 5:00pm. Doors 8:00pm to 11:00p
 m.\n\nTickets and more info: www.hilltopsessions.co.uk\n\nDarden Smith is 
 a Texas based singer-songwriter with a 35-year career that continues to ev
 olve and grow. He has released fifteen critically acclaimed albums and tou
 red extensively in both the US and Europe. Among his other diverse project
 s\, Smith has composed a symphony\, scored three full-length dance theater
  works and produced a documentary for BBC2 Radio. His visual art is in bot
 h private and corporate collections. "The Habit of Noticing: Using Creativ
 ity to Make a Life (and a Living)" a collection of his writings\, photos a
 nd drawings was published in 2018. He is the co-founder and former creativ
 e director of SongwritingWith:Soldiers. In 2021 he co-founded Frontline So
 ngs\, which uses collaborative songwriting to help tell the stories of fro
 ntline healthcare workers during the Covid-19 pandemic.\n\nReema's songwri
 ting themes run through self-esteem to coping with loss to the importance 
 of kindness. Her deeply personal concerts are all about communicating with
  her audience\, sharing stories and often tears.\n\nReema has a hand­made
  approach\, not only to her music\, but also in her artwork and stage clot
 hing printed from her paintings of animals\, plants and swirling patterns.
  She has worked with great producers like Stephen Street and Ethan Johns a
 nd has written songs for film ‘Love Rosie’ and the ‘Twilight Eclipse
 ’ soundtrack. Her first releases were live\, analogue and computer-free 
 vinyl records\, ‘The Lowswing Sessions’ and 'Memories Fade to Tape' wi
 th arrangements by award-winning producer\, Guy Sternberg. The records bot
 h sold out on their release dates. Reema then released 2 digital EPs \, 
 ‘Lioness’ and ‘Rooftops and Riversides.’\n\nThe EPs were created l
 ive with bass clarinet\, clarinet\, flute and trombone and little accents 
 of trumpet and percussion with production and arrangements by her bandmate
  and close friend\, Stefan Baumann. The minimal approach made sure the son
 gs and their messages are right at the front of the production. It is an u
 ncut and honest look into Reema’s heart- felt song writing and clear\, g
 lass‐like vocals.
