Potter’s Daughter are to release their second full-length album Close To Nearby on September 30. Joining the duo is Protocol and Toto drummer Simon Phillips.

Says Phillips of the collaboration, "It has been an absolute pleasure to play on [the] music. Very challenging and ever so much fun."

Potter's Daughter – formed of Dyanne Voegtlin and Jan-Christian Vögtlin – say, “The huge contribution of Simon’s playing to our music, together with the depth of his artistry and vision simply cannot be understated or exaggerated. He added a completely new dimension to each song. He is also down to earth, such a joy to work with!”
