Crooner, comedian, prophet of doom.

Daryl Scairiot is a singer/composer whose ongoing opus, "Daryl Scairiot," is a burlesque musical about a raggedy nightclub comedian, Daryl Scairiot, who tells dirty jokes about the ruin of man.

Inside scoop:

A first-rate craftsman in the tradition of Leonard Cohen and Elvis Costello, Arizona-born Daryl Scairiot possesses a formidable command both of language and of the idiom of lyric-writing. Nihilistic, savage and scatological; tender, elegant and human, Scairiot’s songs shimmer with misanthropic beauty. Jennifer Layton, of Indie-Music.com, has called him “one of the most brilliant writers I’ve come across.”
