The Preacher’s Son

About Me


"The music is is an early American folk/spiritual style and beautifully played and sung. Deceptively simple ballads with deep lyrics sung with some stunning vocal harmonies." Brad - "Feed Your Head Today"
"The Preacher’s Son is the moniker for the solo performer Dave Piorek. While Dave is occasionally joined by a revolving line up of musicians, the songs are generally based around plaintive guitar and vocal melodies. Lyrical themes explore the dark elements of the human condition and often function as a response to the typically overly optimistic “praise” music. While praise and celebration certainly have their place, The Preacher's Son tends to steer away from these easy sentiments and focus on redemption, human failings and inner turmoil — the issues most of us confront far more often than cheery exaltation. Sounds like The Birthday Party met Son House and were raised by a fire-and-brimstone preacher-dad." Sixsquared36 - Last.fm
"Combining the Gun Club’s appealing sordidness with the swagger and charm of Gram Parsons, The Preacher’s Son's 'Princes of the Kingdom' is a refreshing addition to a genre Gabriel Hart (Starvations, Fortune’s Flesh) has been building in Los Angeles; and to a smaller degree, a sound the Deadly Snakes in Canada tinkered with before their demise last year. Everything is here—American music: Doc Pomus, Lightin’ Hopkins, Jeffrey Lee Pierce; American literature: Carson McCullers, Faulkner and Flannery O’Connor. It’s drunk, it’s dirty; The Preacher’s Son is about sin and redemption. It’s no coincidence these happen to be some of my favorite topics…A brief highlight in an otherwise dismal sea of uninteresting music." - Ryan Leach, Razorcake
