About Me

For the best Denison Witmer information, please visit: DENISONWITMER.COM - or - HAPPY BIRTHDAY DENISON


“(Witmer) sounds ready: cannily fleshing out his sound with help from friends (Sufjan Stevens, James McAlister, Don and Karen Peris of The Innocence Mission), but never losing sight of the style he’s honed for years” – Pitchforkmedia.com
“We are smitten with these sweet drowsy ditties… (Witmer’s) modest reach and pensive melodies could easily get lost in the white noise of contemporary culture, it would be a shame, though, to miss tiny gems like these…”– Entertainment Weekly
“Denison Witmer is one of the greatest unknown musical talents in the world today. Denison Witmer is an unique and exceptional talent who’s music can appeal to everyone. Are You a Dreamer? is incredible. This album is a gem.” – CDreviews.com
“All ten song are grounding, modest, instinctive, flowing, and undoubtedly human. Witmer’s smooth, soft voice combined with his observant, fleeting lyrics provide scenes of love and life in a softly patient and optimistic light…. Picking songs to praise for this review is a bit difficult since they’re all worthwhile, that’s right, there’s nary a dud out of these ten songs, not one.” – Indieworkshop.com
“Denison Witmer applies confessional sensitivity to his newest album as he ponders dreams and the hopes they inspire. Witmer’s gentle guitar and soothing voice are deceptively powerful, enough to put even the most jaded indie rockers in touch with their inner James Taylor.” – CMJ (College Music journal)
“Are You A Dreamer takes listeners on a journey through picturesque landscapes of heartfelt dreams and hopes… Witmer has earned a spot close to the front of the long line of young singer/songwriters who are bound to make it big” – Hyperactive Magazine
