We usually get the call about 48 hours in advance.

The news is almost always the same, our friend David Ramirez an Austin-based singer/songwriter is passing through another rickety bar somewhere in San Francisco sharing his country-tinged songs. And, like all the times before, we make it to the noisy gig, drink a few beers, and try to hear a few notes from the opening band through the buzz of the crowd. Then, like clockwork, David takes the stage over the rowdy crowd and sings out:

God bless this bar
With the soiled wooden floors
The heads that always turn when I walk through the door

Time and time again the remarkable happens. Complete Silence. Respect. Adoration.

We’re inspired by our friend David and his ability to connect with a room full of strangers night after night, after night. So, we’re happy to share that David has just released his newest album, Apologies. An album that according to Ramirez is his most personal, affecting collection of songs to date.

You can purchase and stream the whole album, here.

Bonus! Enjoy this take-away show we shot with David two years ago.
