DENISON WITMER w/TYLER JAMES November 17, 2008

The Militia Group recording artist Denison Witmer is touring in support of his new album "Carry the Weight," out November 11th.

"Fine lyrical hooks with exquisitely crafted Californian folk-pop in a delightfully laid-back package." - WORD magazine

Patience is a virtue, they say — Denison Witmer knows this well from personal experience. Until recently, only a small audience has had the good fortune to hear Witmer live or on record. All of that is changing, however, due to the company he keeps and his steadfast dedication to making worthwhile music.

Witmer’s emergent circle of talented peers includes: The Innocence Mission, Sufjan Stevens, My Morning Jacket, Damien Jurado, and Rosie Thomas. Denison has toured with all of these artists, some of whom appear as guest musicians on his new record, Are You A Dreamer?

25-year-old Tyler James doesn't look half as old as his record collection. Listening to the likes of Nick Drake, Joni mitchell, Paul Simon and Bob Dylan, his songs draw a weary ear in, as he puts out lo-fi recordings full of sunny melodies over mellow indie-folk and brit-pop.

"An understated, melodic singer/songwriter specializing in lush, piano-driven pop, Tyler James has an unadorned, vulnerable vocal style that grows on you, adding complexity to deceptively simple lyrics. James sounds like an old soul, though he's only 23." - The Nashville Scene
