There are shades of Ray Charles, Georgie Fame & Harry Connick Jr in Neal's style. The music tells a story, through new arrangements of well-known standards like Comes Love, This Masquerade, Come Rain or Come Shine... plus some left-field ones. Gutsy originals tackling themes from the sea, the environment, existential crises, love, loss and... plenty of blues. Presented in Neal's infamous pithy raconteur style, and backed by a first class 7-piece band, the music takes you on a journey that everyone can relate to.
