The November 2009



Christopher Dallman




Chris is a rare 'repeat' Artist of the Month, but for good reason. There were 2 artists I found on mySpace back in 2005 whose talent compelled me to start doing showcases, one of them was Christopher Dallman.

Dallman's 2004 debut indie CD 'Race the Light' was filled to the brim with beautiful melodies paired with inspired poetic lyrics that were a welcome departure from what was on the radio at the time.



The very first show I ever saw at The Rockwood was when I went to check Dallman out to see if his live chops met up to the recorded version. Clearly I was not dissapointed, and my long amazing journey into indie music promotion began.





Over the years my love and support for Chris has only grown as I would hear new gems polished and tried out at gatherings at my house, and it became evident that his was a bottomless well of talent and inspiration.



Now, five years later, Dallman is finally releasing this long anticipated new material in the form of 2 EPs, the first of which, 'Never Was' can be found on his website (click album cover for link) -
and can also be found on iTunes later this month.



This month I will feature 3 songs off "Never Was" and one which I believe will be on his forthcoming EP.

Enjoy!

Thanks BJ. It's actually for a commercial modeling job I did where I played a "rocker". Nothing quite like pro stylists and a big wind fan to make photo magic, eh?
