Ritt Deitz w/ Dustin Pence

Mother Fool's

Ritt Deitz is about to finish POP, his first record since 2007's UPSTREAM (Uvulittle) and has been honing a more electric sound. The October 1 set will feature new songs from POP, in addition to a number of unexpected covers and a new band member, daughter Ella on electric piano, joining the quintet. Strings and amplifliers and a new drum kit join the dulcimer, acoustic and electric guitars you already associate with Ritt's act. Tube-amp electric harmonious cowbell stompfest.

Dustin Pence brings an indie/folk sound that captures eardrums and makes angels cry. While Dustin's fans have compared his music to that of Elliott Smith and Nick Drake, Dustin would say that he's just singing about things that wake him up at night. With a "no talk, just play" mentality, listeners will enjoy his somber, yet intense, low-key whispers that will make you feel like he's sitting next to you on the curb, telling you his life story.
