Warrington’s ‘Standin’ Man’ Announced As Support Act For ‘The Who’ @ St Helens

North West Psychedelic inspired Rock n Roll band ‘Standin’ Man’ release their latest single ‘Changin’ Wind’, the third single to come from their upcoming debut album ‘Life Intimidating Art’, produced by Jim Spencer (Johnny Marr, The Charlatans, New Order). Standin’ Man will also be supporting legendary Rock icons The Who as part of their ‘The Who Hits Back’ tour at St Helens on Friday the 21st of July.

The brainchild of lead singer and songwriter Dean Fairhurst ‘Standin’ Man’ blends 60’s inspired rock sensibilities with psychedelia and contemporary rock elements to create a nuanced sound packed with insightful lyrical commentary. ‘Changin’ Wind’ is no different, a swaggering anthem featuring grooving drum beats, soaring guitar lines and infectious choruses that will cement Dean’s impassioned vocal performance in your head for days to come.

Dean Fairhurst explains the track further: “‘Changin’ Wind’ is a song that describes the arrival of judgement day and the questions that get asked about whether you have done all you can in the face of a situation. Sonically, the track enforces many elements of change and its inevitability. Lyrically it evokes the message that we must adapt but it is ourselves and our actions that have the power over how things fundamentally change.”

Having previously written and produced songs that have been featured on the likes of Netfilx, HBO, BBC Sports and Sky Sports to name a few along with tours supporting some of the world’s biggest acts including The Who, Liam Gallagher, Def Leppard, Roger Waters and Scorpions, Dean Fairhurst is no stranger to the spotlight. Gaining acclaim throughout media outlets such as Classic Rock, NME, VICE and Rolling Stone Magazine.

‘Standin’ Man’ has already garnered the attention of fans and outlets alike with their previous two singles ‘Be Your Own Messiah’ and ‘If You Don’t Know What To Do With Yourself’, getting featured on all major Premiership Football Spotify playlists, Wimbledon Tennis Official Spotify Playlists, Talksort and BBC’s Match Of The Day. Now with the release of ‘Changin’ Wind’ offering audiences a further glimpse of what to expect from their forthcoming album ‘Life Intimidating Art’ and the promise of live shows, ‘Standin’ Man’ look to continue bringing their own unique brand of Rock n Roll to fans old and new.
