Dave Girtsman is a singer-songwriter based in Southern California. His music defies easy categorization, often exploring diverse ideas and musical memories. His sound is personal yet mercurial and ethereal. At times eerie and nightmarish, and at others darkly ironic and vaudevillian, like a twisted cabaret performance, Girtsman’s songs are as intriguing and distinctive as they are varied.
His eclectic style will resonate with fans of artists as diverse as Tom Waits, Nick Drake, Dead Rituals, XTC, Vic Chesnutt, Leonard Cohen, The Clash, Elvis Costello, and Van Morrison, among others.
Writing and recording all of his music himself and with occasional help from friends, Dave has managed to achieve a very organic, down-to-earth sound that paints a genuine portrait of his creative vision.
