There's a kind of songwriting that doesn't just play in the background — it moves in, rearranges the furniture of your heart, and never quite leaves. Burt Bacharach wrote those songs. This September, Daddy Rabbit brings them to life.
Hilary Kole takes the mic — a voice built for melodies this lush, this aching, this effortlessly cool — backed by Misha Piatigorsky on piano and the full Daddy Rabbit band, horns and strings woven through every turn. Walk On By. What the World Needs Now. I Say a Little Prayer. Songs that have outlived decades, played by musicians who understand exactly why.
