Rock And Roll Globe compares Later Fortune to Hall & Oates

VIDEO PREMIERE

I never even thought of this reference, but I love it. Ron Hart at Rock and Roll Globe reports: "In the spirit of another music duo from Philly named Hall & Oates, Later Fortune are expertly adept at keeping the soul of their sacred city alive in their distinctive sound."

The duo of Chet Delcampo and Heyward Howkins drop the video for their "Lateral To The Devil" single today, beautifully directed by Julie Casper Roth.

Many thanks out to WXPN's The Key for the kind words in its premiere coverage of "Lateral To The Devil," the A-side of the upcoming single from Later Fortune (aka Chet Delcampo and Heyward Howkins), out this Friday, February 11.

Glide Mag says Later Fortune's Bowie cover would make the Thin White Duke smile

TRACK PREMIERE

Good day, brave souls of the internet! While you are consuming your coffee and Wordle (you know you do it!), please click on over to our friends at Glide Magazine for the premiere of "Win," a synthy cover of the David Bowie deep cut by Later Fortune aka Philly-based musicians Chet Delcampo and Heyward Howkins.

Glide says it's "a truly stirring rendition that would make Bowie smile." If it would make Bowie smile, then it's bound to make you feel some kind of way, yes? I don't know if Wordle accepts proper nouns, but with Bowie being five letters, perhaps all of this can make some kind of sense.

When songwriters Chet Delcampo and Heyward Howkins team up as Later Fortune, it's a "Win."

NEWS

Their names alone spark curiosity: Later Fortune is the Philly-based duo of Chet Delcampo and Heyward Howkins.

Both are busy musicians and songwriters working at the front, back, and on stage, as well as appearing on each other’s recordings. This makes their upcoming two-song “Lateral To The Devil” single (out Feb. 11th, 2022) a rare thing. The previous Later Fortune release dropped three years ago, but patience pays. 

Even at a mere two tracks and even with one being a cover (David Bowie’s Young Americans album cut “Win,” which Bowie biographer David Buckley called “one of the most gorgeous melodies Bowie has ever written”), it’s enough to underscore the taste and talent that results from decades of adulting in music.
