Danny Vaughn on Closer to the Sun – Hope, Heart & New Tyketto

Author: Phil Aston February 16, 2026 Duration: 36:29

In this episode of the Now Spinning Magazine Podcast, I’m joined once again by Danny Vaughn from Tyketto to talk about the band’s brand-new album Closer to the Sun.

We explore the album track by track, the optimism and hope running through the songs, Danny’s approach to songwriting and vocal health, the importance of band chemistry, and why recording together still matters.

We also discuss touring plans, recording at Rockfield Studios, and how music continues to connect people across cultures and generations. Closer to the Sun is out March 20 — and it’s one of the most uplifting rock albums you’ll hear this year. Phil
