Daryll King
Daryll, a native of Toledo, Ohio, has been singing and playing music all his life. His father was a singer in a men’s gospel chorale and occasionally would let Daryll sing with the group. His parents wanted all of their 8 children to be educated in more than just the 3 “R’s”, and made each of them learn an instrument and take art classes at the local museum. When Daryll was 14, a friend handed him a bass guitar and said “I’ll show you what to do with that in a little while,” and later taught Daryll a few bass lines. That was the start of a music career that has spanned more than 40 years with many bands. Daryll enjoys playing all kinds of music, but his first love is jazz. Among his influences are Stanley Clark, Charles Mingus, Abraham Laboriel, and Ron Carter.

Album Notes
New Day Comin’ combines the creative talents of singer/songwriter Tony Ballard with the soothing vocal expressions of Lucy White, the soulful jazzy flute tones of Daryll King, and the chameleonic production skills of Dominick Pages.
This moving collection of original songs is the latest offering in a shared dream of joining the ever increasing number of artists who have blended their music with the lyrical beauty of the Baha’i Writings.
Souls of the Fireside defies stylistic limitations with its hypnotic blend of gospel, country, soul, rock and world beat influences. The result is a musical experience that guides the listener on a multi-layered spiritual journey that is full of pleasant surprises. Combined with the poetic spirituality expressed in the Baha’i Writings, “New Day Comin’” delivers a message that runs the gamut of human emotions – the gut wrenching pain of 'What Were They Thinking?'; the joyfully raucous expectation of 'New Race of Men', as well as the title track; the soft, meditative comfort of 'Sanctuary' and 'Choice Wine'; and the unifying assurance of 'The Light of Love', 'God Is Sufficient', and 'Reach Out'.
Part band, part musical collective, Souls of the Fireside is the latest incarnation of a group of musicians based in Tampa, Florida. Tony Ballard and Lucy White can be heard with the band, Dawn Moth, on the 2013 CD release, "Soul Goes On", also produced by Dominick Pages. Multi-talented instrumentalist, Daryll King, can be heard as a member of the Tampa-based jazz group, Standing-8-Count, on their 2014 CD release, "Still Standing".
The combination of songs offered in this effort is an undeniable musical triumph that serves as a ladder on which the soul can climb. No matter the style, no matter the combination, the message is spiritually moving and positive, a sign that there truly is a new day comin’!
Executive Producer: Anthony Ballard; Producer, Arranger & Mixer: Dominick Pages; Mastered by: Dominick Pages; and Recorded at Crystal Blue Studios, Dover, FL.
