About Are You A Dreamer?
Years toiling in dive bars and incessant journal-writing are starting to pay off for Philadelphia-based
singer-songwriter Denison Witmer. While often compared to 70s classic songwriting relics like James Taylor
and admitted influences Jackson Browne and Graham Nash, his earnest, idiosyncratic style has matured and
now is more akin to Damien Jurado, Pedro the Lion or even Elliott Smith at times. His new album
Are You a Dreamer? will be released on July 26 and will be his first album on the Militia Group.
The album is loosely conceptual, themed around all the aspects of dreams and the sense of hope that can be derived from them. Are You a Dreamer? benefits from contributions by a gifted cast of contributors, with Sufjan Stevens, the Innocence Mission’s Don and Karen Peris, Ester Drang’s James McAlister, and Shara Worden filling out the sound of Witmer’s personal narrative tales. — Pitchforkmedia.com
