Derrin Nauendorf Band

Derrin's journey into the music industry began around 7 years ago when he left his native Australia to attempt to make a splash in the UK and Europe. He arrived at Heathrow with one telephone number, £1,200 and a mountain of energy and enthusiasm. Since arriving on European shores, Derrin has played the UK, Germany, France, Spain and Holland, and has opened for Van Morrison and countless others.

Derrin has recorded 6 albums and sold close to 17,000 of them from the back of his van to an army of devoted fans. His latest record "Skin of the Earth" is only his second commercial release. After years of shunning the music industry he released "The Rattling Wheel" on his own label Rising Records Ltd in 2006 to much praise and acclaim. Following this first commercial release, Derrin received attention from Bob Harris (BBC Radio 2) who invited him in for a solo live session and interview, and Paul Jones (BBC Radio 2) also hosted a live session for Derrin and his band at the famous Maida Vale studios.

The lyrics to Derrin's song "Shipwrecked" from the "The Rattling wheel" album were published by Cambridge University Press in a text book for English Literature and the album also received a 4 star review in the Sunday Express alongside Jools Holland, Tom Waits and The Beatles! Glowing reviews followed in publications such as Blues Matters and Maverick Magazines and Derrin has gone on to feature in many other music publications.

"Skin of the Earth", his latest album, sees Derrin hitting new peaks as a songwriter and artist. Promotional copies of "Skin of the Earth" were sent out and received the attention of international Blues and Roots label Ruf Records who released the new album with a view to pushing Derrin's music to more people around the globe.
