Ritt Deitz w/ Doug Pahl

Friday, June 2, 2006

Ritt's songs are rough and smooth at the same time, acoustic roots rock with just enough mountain music in it to remind you he is from Kentucky. He is joined by his trio, musicians he has played, recorded, and consorted with over the last fifteen years.

A Madison Native, Doug Pahl was born to a tire store owner and a financial director. He picked up a guitar when he was nine years old and never tired of it. About his own music, Doug says, "Nowadays, call it whatever you want, I play Indiefolkishpop. Some influences for the music I perform are The Decemberists, Andrew Bird, Tom Waits, and some I can---t figure out. I---m sure someone from a magazine could describe it better than I can."
