Stories as songs from a true original.

They always say “Write what you know.” And so I do, as demonstrated here:

Apple Music | Spotify | SoundCloud | TikTok | Instagram | YouTube

I’m embracing the chaos of pure analog, no AI, zero backing tracks, 100% human “mistakes and all” acoustic. 
I can do all originals for up to three hours—and perform even longer if you’re a music-rights subscriber and want covers of songs by my heroes like James Taylor, Bill Withers, Glen Campbell, John Gorka, Stan Rogers, Buffalo Springfield, and Ben E. King.

ONE TAKE DEMO

This TikTok series is exactly that—one live take of one of my songs (warts and all) and a bit of the context behind them. No editing, sweetening, or polishing at all. It’s the raw feed straight from the writer’s mouth.

“D.P. makes his words&music records debut with an extremely personal look at life. As he explains in the CD’s liner notes “What started out as an attempt to finally document some of the songs I’ve written over the past 20 years turned into something entirely more personal. After recording a number of tracks with no grand album concept in mind, a pattern began to emerge: a patchwork of songs about family, places we lived (and events we lived through), and some of the people we met on the way.”
