Oates is coming home to play the Philadelphia Folk Festival, the festival that helped shape him as a musician in the 1960s.
John Oates plays Cape May Convention Hall on Aug. 15 and the Philadelphia Folk Festival on Aug. 17. His new solo album is "Reunion."about a renowned musical duo that stayed together for decades even as their relationship became strained. But the name of the song is not “Daryl Hall & John Oates.”
“I wanted to write a story about lending a helping hand and make it a metaphor for kindness. And then I realized that deep down psychologically I had been processing this situation between Daryl and myself. I was exorcising things that had been going on in my life.” And he’s neither of those things, “not about Daryl Hall or my relationship with him or not working with him. In fact, I’m very happy about it because I think I’ve freed myself and, in a sense, I’ve freed Daryl to be whoever we can be in the later stages of our creative life. It’s a gift in a way.”in 2003. But they continued touring, and in 2009 played one of the final shows at the Spectrum. I asked Hall how they avoided hating each other after so many years.
Recent tours “were never uncomfortable,” Oates said. “We always got along very well on the surface.” But he was frustrated, “because I had to wear two different hats” and “couldn’t commit to either thing 100%. At a certain point, I said, ‘I have to do something else.’”“People are always heartbroken when a long-term relationship falls apart. I understand people have a fondness for the memories they associate with the music they love and grew up with. I do, too.
