Join us on Saturday, June 21st at The Cidery Stage on Red Apple Farm during the Summer Strings Music Festival for an evening of live music with singer-songwriter, Dave Dersham performing from 5-7! davedershammusic.com/ www.facebook.com/events/2110647822789768/ "Dersham taps hopeful melodies and reverses lyrical expectations at every turn...exudes a brand of humane charm that sets him apart from every other songwriter you'll see this year." – Club Passim Dave completed his first CD, “The Burn of Summer” (2003) in Somerville, MA, engineered by Jabe Beyer, Tim Kelly, and Tom Eaton. A shrewd crew synthesized the sonic threads, earning substantial airtime on Folk Radio’s WUMB (UMASS/Boston), WERS (Emerson College), and as an emerging artist finalist at “Mountain Stage" – a nationally syndicated radio show. “Gilding the Lilies” arrived in 2011, recorded and accompanied by the kaleidoscopically stringed Lloyd Thayer, and produced by Jared Fiske: djembe, electric/acoustic guitar, bass, keyboard. The sophomore collection was distributed internationally. A sly humorist, cultural critic, and melancholy optimist, Dave's long-awaited 3rd album came out in October of 2024 consisting of 10 new songs, engineered by Andrew Atkin (13 Queen Studios) and recorded, mastered, and co-produced by Mark Miller (Sonlab / Side Track Studio). "If you’re feeling kind of inside out and craving folk songs from a whole different direction, dive into Dave Dersham’s Another Interregnum. It’s as if you’re sitting around in his living room on homemade furniture and he’s trying out his fully formed, way-out ideas on you. And guess what? The thoughts and the images flit around and land right in the place where you do your thinking. Dersham doesn’t sound like Andrew Bird or Richard Thompson, but he sure sounds like they hang out together. There is NOBODY like Dave Dersham." Marilyn Rea Beyer, Host, The Midnight Special and Folkstage, WFMT 98.7FM, Chicago
