Davis musician Dave Nachmanoff
Internationally acclaimed Davis musician Dave Nachmanoff to showcase new album music at Watermelon Music this March 21st at 8 pm
Internationally acclaimed musician and Davis, California local, Dave Nachmanoff, will be playing a concert at The Melon Ball at Watermelon Music showcasing new music from his new album to be recorded in New York later this year.
Dave Nachmanoff is making a comeback after his eighth album, Cerulean Sky, was released seven years ago featuring a lineup of renowned names including seasoned LA session players Michael Jerome on drums, Taras Prodaniuk on bass, and Carl Byron on keyboards. The album will be recorded in New York City and the Catskills, with Scott Petito producing and some fantastic New York based studio musicians on board.
An acclaimed musician, singer-songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist, Dave Nachmanoff is known for his masterful guitar work, rich storytelling, and dynamic performances, combining the philosophical with the down-to-earth in his unique style of philosophical folk-rock.
A longtime collaborator of folk-rock legend Al Stewart, Dave has captivated audiences worldwide with his virtuosity and deep musical sensibilities, from intimate living room concerts to the Royal Albert Hall – all backed by a Ph.D. in Philosophy from UC Davis.
His insightful and empathetic lyrics create rich and meaningful stories capturing different perspectives to create an unforgettable live experience, and a unique opportunity to be comforted yet simultaneously transported and transformed.
The music from his new album centers on the theme of family, both his own and others. While much of the music from this album is inspired by Dave’s own experiences with family, he touches on the core of a very universal experience by capturing the colorful ups and downs of this theme. From a child, to a partner, to a parent, to an outside observer, this album offers a unique yet familiar take on this theme in a warm and compassionate way that many can relate to, characterized by Nachmanoff’s captivating style of storytelling.
“I’ve been working on putting this project together for about two years, and after a vocal injury, a global pandemic, the loss of both of my parents and some other challenges over these last seven years, it feels great to be writing new songs before going back to record in New York, where I worked in a recording studio 40 years ago.”
His March 21st show at 8 pm at The Melon Ball at Watermelon Music in Davis, California will be an intimate solo acoustic concert showcasing some of Nachmanoff’s newest material, and is a unique opportunity to connect with the artist, share opinions on the music, and hear music that has never been recorded, before he travels to the East Coast to begin the recording process.
Tickets are $25 in advance and $30 at the door and are being sold at watermelonmusic.com. To learn more about Dave and his music, go to his website davenach.com.
