Denison Witmer个人资料：

Denison Witmer，来自费城，自幼受喜欢民谣音乐母亲的影响，对民谣异常喜爱，他的音乐深受70年代的音乐特别是jackson browne 以及 graham nash的影响，人们常把他和james taylor比较；而他对音乐的理解、执着甚或偏执又和damien jurado, pedro the lion 甚或elliott smith颇为相似。包括ep、live，denison witmer至今有十张作品问世，风格基本统一，想象、信念、渴望、梦想、敏感是它们共有的关键词。 Tagged by many music journalists as one of the most likely songwriters to fill the void left by Elliott Smith in the acoustic indie singer/songwriter movement, Denison Witmer catalogs the experiences of young adulthood in almost painfully honest detail. With a soft and sensitive voice that perfectly matches his laid-back 1970s California pop production and subtly expressive guitar work, he has gone from writing in his journal to becoming an intimate of like-minded artists like Damien Jurado and Pedro the Lion over the span of a few albums. Growing up in Lancaster, PA, Witmer picked up the guitar at the age of 16 and was soon showing enough promise to draw the interest of the Innocence Missions Don Peris. As Peris became Witmers musical mentor, he would oversee and play guitar and keyboard on his apprentices first recordings, 2000s River Bends EP and the much-heralded Safe Away. His reputation rising among singer/songwriters and bolstered by appearances on the summer festival scene, Witmer would sign on with Burnt Toast Vinyl for 2001s The 80s E.P. and 2002s Of Joy & Sorrow, the latter finding him expanding into more electric sounds and having his efforts rewarded with overwhelmingly favorable reviews and extensive North American tour dates. Philadelphia Songs followed later that year before Recovered was released in summer 2003 on Fugitive. Are You a Dreamer? marked Witmers debut on The Militia Group two years later; the label then reissued Safe Away in October 2006 as a double album coupled with the EP Are You a Sleeper? (a tie-in to the Dreamer album) and several live bonus tracks.
