Sunshine-born singer Daniela Corso is back on stage, with her batteries fully charged, after a 10 year break.
Western suburbs singer-songwriter Corso is firing up for her first live comeback show at The Palace Hotel in Camberwell on May 6.
After an extended break to look after her special needs son, the Sunshine-bred who now resides in Werribee is raring to hit the stages.
Backed by the Screaming Jets’ Paul Woseen, Mark McLeod and former Catwitch guitarist Lawrence Rhoads, Ms Corso will showcase new songs including Part Of Us, out now on all streaming platforms.
“This song has a country feel to it,” says Corso, who recorded it with longtime
collaborator Michael Zammit in his Altona studio. She hopes new track will land her a spot at Tamworth’s famous music festival.
But that doesn’t mean she’ll abandon her love of full-on rock and roll, as her
audience will discover in the Palace gig promoted by Anthem Entertainment
and Touring.
“I wrote this song (Part Of Us) because we all have a part of us that keeps us
going. It’s about the things in life that lift us and ignite our fire,” she says.
Daniela also does charity work when she is not behind the mike.
After breast cancer claimed the life of a relative, she wrote and recorded a song to raise money for breast cancer research and awareness.
She also persuaded Monique Brumby and Rob Farnham, John’son, to join
her in a big fund-raising concert in Williamstown for the Les Twentyman
Foundation and kids at risk a few years ago.
