You know you’re in good hands with a repertoire band when one of its members has had his own hands on the artist whose music is being honored. So it is with the Security Project, which celebrates the music of Peter Gabriel and includes Woodstock drummer Jerry Marotta, who performed and recorded with Gabriel from 1977 to 1986, and will perform at Daryl’s House Club on December 16.
“Peter was always great at setting the table for us as musicians,” waxes Marotta. “He always got us started with great ideas. As we were creating [Gabriel’s 1982 album Security, we had no idea we were making something so unique. Iʼm proud that with the Security Project weʼre able to deliver the deepest of those songs, and do it with real conviction—playing them live.”
