Dave Desmelik hosts this monthly showcase of local, original music. I always try to make it to hear what other local writers are coming up with. Come on out and join us!
As long as I can remember, music has played a central role in my life. By my early teens I hung on to every note, trying to dissect lyrics and instrumental passages for their mysterious messages and power. Countless hours have been spent scouring record stores, traveling, standing in line for tickets, seeing, and playing shows. After years of covering other artists' tunes, I started to feel my own voice rising and decided to focus solely on original material. The songs on this website are a representation of what has emerged. Living in Asheville, N.C. for twenty years now, I am amazed at the wealth of talent and artistic expression I see every time I leave the house. I am happy and proud to be a part of that community, and I am available to play at any venue where original music is welcomed. Please sign up for e-mail notifications of any upcoming developments, and thanks for listening.
