Upcoming solo gigs; gigs with Al

Sat, 27 Feb 2010 00:00:00 -0800

On Saturday, February 27th (tonight) I'll perform at the Cotati Cohousing Community in Cotati, California (Sonoma County) for a solo house concert. In early March, I will be touring across the east coast with Al Stewart. Two shows of particular note are March 5th and March 6th, when I'll be opening for him, in addition to supporting him, at Eddie's Attic (Atlanta) and Sanctuary Concerts (NJ), respectively. I'll do some songwriters-in-residence workshops the following week, in addition to performing as part of the Focus Music Concert Series in Rockville, MD at their unitarian church, and performing two private house concerts in New Jersey. All the details are on my Calendar page - click the link on the left.

MerlinXL5 radio and Haiti relief

Mon, 25 Jan 2010 00:00:00 -0800

MerlinXL5 Radio this week (1/25/10) features Dave Nachmanoff and Al Stewart in anticipation of the upcoming concert on May 9th. If you haven’t tuned in yet, come see what the hype is all about. Listeners from as far away as Spain and the Philippines can’t be wrong. More information at Daniel Stratton's site: http://danielstratton.net/news.htm

Also, I sell my CDs on CDBaby. CD Baby will donate $1 toward Haitian earthquake relief for every CD and album download sold.

In the studio, The Dave-Bruce Alliance, and more "Uncorked"

Mon, 18 Jan 2010 00:00:00 -0800

Lots going on in the studio again. I have been working on some more custom songs, and have a couple of projects that are due out very soon. The Belles-Silcock family (www.allourboys.com) has their 3rd CD coming out, entitled “Brand New Chapter.” This one features the boys singing and playing some guitar, even more than the 2nd one did. Britt Miller’s CD, Juxtapose, is now available on CDBaby, and he has returned safely from his posting in Afghanistan.

“Jersey to California: New CD by ‘The Dave-Bruce Alliance’" has been released! This album started when Bruce took his lyrics for a single song and asked me to put them to music. From that first "Custom Song" project, Bruce was hooked, and we became like Bernie Taupin & Elton John, with Bruce writing the lyrics in New Jersey, and sending them along with ideas for the sound or style of song to me in California. Some of the songs were even written in the same room, during some of my east coast tour stops. Before long, we'd assembled a group of songs that we both really liked. Pick it up at http://davenach.com/products.html . Keep in mind that it won't be available at most shows. Meanwhile, I am hard at work on the Belles-Silcock family’s 4th CD, and producing a CD for singer/songwriter Steve Kahn!

By now, you have likely heard of "Uncorked - Al Stewart Live with Dave Nachmanoff". It's getting nice response at folk radio and in some publications. Thanks to each and every one of you who bought it from me either on my site, or at the shows. I’m very happy with how it sounds, but it’s been wonderful to see the great response that fans and strangers have had! For anyone who wants to help spread the word, feel free to send reviews to Amazon.com, CDBaby and iTunes, and of course and “blogs” or websites that people use to look for new music.

Upcoming southeastern U.S. November shows

Sun, 01 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0700

I'm headed to the southeastern U.S. in early November with Al Stewart - we'll perform at the Second Fret Coffeehouse in Statesville, NC (I will also open) on Tuesday, November 3rd; Eddie's Attic on Thursday, November 5th; the Sylvia Theatre in York, SC (I will also open) on Friday, November 6th; and the Holly Springs Cultural Center in Holly Springs, NC (I will also open) on Saturday, November 7th.

I'll have "Uncorked" with me, so if you haven't bought online but would like to buy at the shows, you'll be able to. Folk radio seems to like "Uncorked", which is nice to see - it seems the song "Palace of Versailles" is a favorite of many DJs. I did a house concert the other week and Patty D. (the host) joined me in performing the song.

Happy Halloween!

Here is "Heaven for Pumpkins", an unreleased workshop song from the Grace Cathedral's Boy's Choir summer retreat some years ago.

"Uncorked" has arrived!

Over the next week, we'll be turning around pre-orders (at www.davenach.com, concerts, and mail order) for 'Uncorked', which should be available at other retailers in a few weeks.

Update on "Uncorked"

Sat, 05 Sep 2009 00:00:00 -0700

I wanted to give everyone a status update about "Uncorked". The latest word is that the manufacturer says copies of the CD will be shipped to me in mid September (maybe around September 15th), so after a week (and maybe a few days), your orders will be turned around and then it will be up to the U.S. postal mail to get them to you . Expect intl. orders to take a little longer due to the mail. If anything changes, I'll post it here on my website.

In reference to the last posting about "Uncorked - Al Stewart Live with Dave Nachmanoff", you can now pre-order the CD from both inside AND outside the U.S. at the website on the "Buy CDs" page. We'll be emailing all those who expressed interest (from Germany, New Zealand, Switzerland, Canada, etc) and letting them know they can now pre-order. Once we have the CD in our hands, we will mail them to those who have pre-ordered. Of course, expect the international shipping time to be a little longer. Clips from four of the songs from the upcoming CD are now available. Take a listen:

Pre-order the brand new live CD (please select the appropriate option: from U.S. or from another country) featuring songs like "Coldest Winter in Memory", "Carol", "Running Man", and many more...and you'll get it as soon as we have it. The first 100 orders received (both domestic and international) will be autographed by Dave Nachmanoff.
