Denison Witmer is a singer-songwriter from Lancaster, Pennsylvania. His first release, in 1995, was a cassette titled ''My Luck, My Love''. He has since released six studio LPs; two live albums, a cover album (''Recovered''); three EPs; and an LP with The River Bends—a side project consisting of members of the Philadelphia-based alt-country band One Star Hotel. Witmer's 2005 album, ''Are You A Dreamer?'', produced by Don Peris of The Innocence Mission and featuring Sufjan Stevens, received acclaim, including positive reviews from Pitchfork Media〔(Denison Witmer: Are You a Dreamer?: Pitchfork Record Review )〕 and ''Entertainment Weekly''. Witmer and Stevens appeared on Rosie Thomas's 2007 album ''These Friends of Mine'', an album which included Rosie Thomas' version of Paper Doll, a track originally written and recorded by Witmer. Witmer toured with Rosie Thomas in support of that album in venues across the US and Europe. Witmer's style has been described as "neo-folk."〔(FWWeekly: Listen Up: Denison Witmer )〕 He has also been compared to 1970s-era singer-songerwriters, including Cat Stevens〔(Treble : Album Review : Denison Witmer - Are You a Dreamer? )〕 and Nick Drake.〔(Beautiful House Gallery Lounge | Denison Witmer - Recovered )〕 Witmer's lyrics are poetic and thoughtful; his guitar work, while simple-sounding, relies on complex fingerpicking. ==Early life== Denison Witmer was born and raised in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Denison Witmer – Is he a singer-songwriter? « Americana and Roots Music - No Depression )〕 He was raised Mennonite and attended Lancaster Mennonite School.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The SojoMusic Interview: Denison Witmer, 'Creating Space Where Truth Can Move' - Joshua Witchger )〕 His guitar teacher was Don Peris.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=INTERVIEW: Denison Witmer )〕 Before becoming a full-time musician, Witmer worked in the greenhouse which his family owned.〔 Witmer's and all of his brothers' full names have the initials "DSW."〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Denison Witmer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
