plays music sometimes

Hello friends,

This winter I spent 5 months on the road in my Sprinter van and it was exactly the medicine I needed. Out of that trip I wrote four songs, and they were all what I needed to hear at various points in the journey. Whether it was reflecting on my age, the state of the world, my community and friends in San Diego, or me just taking life too seriously, all these songs were a type of therapy for me.

These songs were recorded with a little help from Jon Tyler Wiley and Melanie Rose Prince, I published them in an EP called “a little more honest” and I think it lives up to the name.

It’s out now on Spotify, Apple Music and most other music streaming services. I hope you enjoy it, and I hope these songs speak to you in the same way they did (and continue to) for me.

Love,
Dave

you probably shouldn’t read my blog

you’re still here?

well, let me tell you a secret

I spent many, many years

thinking that being a good musician meant

being like other “good” musicians

so I compared myself to my heroes

and tried to sound like them

and you know what?

I actually got pretty decent

at sounding like other people

but the problem with that

as you can probably guess

is I didn’t know who I was

so in 2020

I decided to go on a different journey

to figure out what I sound like

now instead of listening for how I’m like others

I listen for how I’m different

and that

has made all the difference.

😘
