Dave Potts left his home in Denver, CO in 1998, and hasn’t looked back since. From the time he first stepped foot in the picturesque town of Auburn, Alabama, he knew he had found his place. His years of traveling throughout the country brought him a loyal following, a catalog of over 400 original songs, and a sense of what he wanted out of his life. The slow-pace of life and the small-town landscape of Alabama fit not only Dave’s life, but his music. Through his music, Dave has taken the endearing characters and towns of the South, and brought them to life. Dave’s hometown newspaper, the OA News, describes his music well by saying, “Potts is at the top of his game when singing about the mundane splendor of small-town life; those stolen moments we so often overlook.”
Though his songwriting style has taken on a regional feel, it has brought his music national attention. Dave was named a finalist in the prestigious Kerrville New Folk Contest in both 2003 and 2004, and again in 2006. He has also been chosen as a finalist at several other songwriting contests including the 2003 Telluride Troubadour Contest and the 2004 South Florida Folk Festival. His album ‘Days Like These’ was picked as a Top 12 Independent CD by Performing Songwriter Magazine. The song ‘A Day To Remember’, off his CD, ’One Night In The South’, was named 2004 New Folk Song of Year by Just Plain Folks. In 2005, he won 1st place in the International Acoustic Music Awards.
Dave has been burning up the interstates of the country for many years, having logged somewhere in the neighborhood of 400,000 miles while performing at more than 500 venues in 42 states. He has appeared at many of the countries most respected listening rooms and festivals, and is a regular at house concerts, churches and coffeehouses. In the press, Dave’s music has been compared to the likes of James Taylor, John Denver, Gordon Lightfoot and David Wilcox. His contemporary folk style with touches of country and bluegrass promoted one reviewer to say of his music; “uplifting - like a visit from an old friend. Dave has a remarkable gift of crafting words and music which fit each other, feed off each other and leave audiences stunned, quieted.”Have you performed in front of an audience?Tours extensively in the Southeast, Midwest and Northeast.
