Dave is very happy to
announce the release of his latest CD, SPIRIT
DANCE. Fresh off his stint as musical director
for the Festival Antigonish presentation of Joni
Mitchell: River, which drew rave reviews, Dave
is excited to present 11 songs in 4 different
tunings on his latest offering.
The music is acoustic-based, gritty, and
heart-felt with a message of hope - highlighting
his proficiency in writing intelligent lyrics,
strong melodies, and innovative arrangements.
What comes to the forefront is raw honesty and a
sincere delivery. His songs have elements of
rock and pop but at their core is roots music.
Dave has an obvious respect for traditional
roots music and traces of country, blues, folk,
and bluegrass can be found throughout his live
performance and recorded discs.
C.B.C Radio's 'Atlantic Airwaves' recently
featured Dave and his new album "Spirit Dance"
as their Artist Of The Week and was one of the
first in their ongoing Songwriter's Series. This
radio program focuses on active and emerging
Atlantic Canadian musicians.
Dave Carmichael has
been making distinctive music for the past 12
years releasing 2 critically acclaimed albums,
PERSPECTIVE and EMERGENCE, manifesting in
several East Coast Music Award and Music
Industry Association of Nova Scotia Music Award
nominations. SPIRIT DANCE was recently nominated
for the 2006 ECMA award for Roots album of the
year. |
