Denison Witmer and Devin Greenwood Cover Nada Surf's "Your Legs Grow" On The Voice Project!

"I always love shoots where the players are so in synch in feeling and tone for a performance as Dennison and Devin are on this one, like they share a special secret they're letting us in on too, inviting the listener to come along and see a beautiful place they've found. It something that warms your bones, no matter the weather. Stay safe out there." Watch now on The Voice Project.

Listen to Denison Witmer's Lovely Daytrotter Session Up Now

"He sings on, "Light On My Face," "Nothing replaces you now/Nobody knows how/Nothing replaces you now/No one and no how." It's pretty definitive. You fall apart a little when he's at it again, singing, "We fill those rooms between us/Every day we die unto ourselves/I counted up my blessings/I signed my name across you/I took yours upon myself/I'll be your friend." When he sings those words in front of us, we nearly kick him out and just tell him to cancel the last couple days of the tour, leave William Fitzsimmons to fend for his damn self and just speed home as quickly as he possibly can." Listen to his Daytrotter session over here

Mashable on Denison Witmer's Skype Concerts


"After chatting with him for roughly five minutes about these sessions, Witmer plays “Stations,” one of two songs I requested. The Lancaster native lets fans pick any song in his catalogue, and asks that selections be chosen beforehand. He has a big songbook to choose from, having just released his ninth album, The Ones Who Wait, earlier this month. Witmer got his start playing with singer-songwriter Sufjan Stevens before going solo, and has built a very loyal following since." Read on at Mashable.

Download Denison Witmer's "Life Before Aesthetics" On Spin Now

"The Ones Who Wait is Witmer’s first record for Sufjan Stevens' label’s base, Asthamtic Kitty. "Life Before Aesthetics" follows in the same steady, supremely solid acoustic-based jams Witmer has always offered up, but the man tosses in some sad sack organ and gloomy horns to ratchet the track’s melancholy tone up to near tear-shedding levels." Click on to download the track exclusively from Spin.com.

Denison Witmer's "The Ones Who Wait" Gets High Marks On Consequence Of Sound


"While Witmer has always aired on the honest, personal side of singing and songwriting, The Ones Who Wait drives the Pennsylvania native’s intimacy to a new level with content that centers on life, death, and relationships. In his own words, the album is about 'patience and reverence…being mindful and open to what you’re experiencing.'" Visit Consequence of Sound here to read more.

Denison Witmer On "5 Beautiful Songs For Your Wednesday"

"Valentine’s Day is over, so those of us without official Valentine’s dates can quit our moping and continue falling in love with some beautiful new (some of them are new, anyway) songs. Male or female, there’s no denying the beauty in some of these songs. It’s also the middle of the work week. Maybe some of us are in need of a boost to push us through."

Listen to the track now on Paste.
