Preston singer-songwriter and pianist Rich Chance plays The Continental with material from his new album, including the hit 'Picture Show'.
Rich Chance plays The Continental on Friday 15 January, with the set running from 20:00 to 23:00. He's a Preston singer-songwriter and pianist, and this is a local night for him. He'll be working through his new album, with the cult hit 'Picture Show' (from Robot Spider Zombie Dog) and a good number of fresh cuts alongside it.
Chance came to songwriting after a career scoring film music, and that background sits behind the way he puts things together. He describes his style as weaving trad jazz and New Orleans influences with indie rock and pop, and the comparisons that have been drawn — Randy Newman, Billy Joel, Eels, Steely Dan and Gerry Rafferty — point to a songwriter who works with melody and arrangement rather than just a guitar and a voice. The piano is a big part of that, and he's known as a spider-fingered player.
