Witmer sounds ready: cannily fleshing out his sound with help from friends, but never losing sight of the style he’s honed for years.

Hidden gem, one can say. His subtle, yet moving songs are very pleasant to listen.
Philadelphia singer/songwriter, who came from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, has been toiling below mainstream indie for six years. Denison’s first release was a cassette in 1995 entitled My Luck, My Love. He has released five LPs, a cover album (Recovered), two EPs, and an LP with his side project, The River Bends, which Witmer plays guitar and sings for with a backup band including members of Philly-based alt-country band One Star Hotel.
His latest album, Are You A Dreamer?, produced by mentor Don Peris of The Innocence Mission and played on by Asthmatic Kitty artist Sufjan Stevens, has been given rave reviews by such opposite ends of the spectrum as Pitchfork Media and Entertainment Weekly.
