About Me


Surprise Me Now
dewer is Daniel Ewerman on guitar and voice, sometimes also with friends on backing vocals or other instruments. I was one third of the trio SALT in the mid 1990s. We released 2 records – Auscultate and Delay Me Down And Make Me Wah Wah!!! After some intensive years with recordings, releases, interviews, making videos and tours in the US and Europe I decided to get back to my studies in Industrial Design. And we broke up Salt in 1996.
Unfortunately my passion for music was damaged by the circumstances around SALT and our split. The original joy for music came back many years later when I started to put my kids to bed (I’ve got 3 of them) with the guitar and some singing. This became the way for me to recover and get back to my love for creating music. This was the starting point for dewer. An album is to be released in 2007.

”…very nice and really sad- contemplative acoustic guitar song (with bits of piano)… The track will of course be airplayed…”
Gerald Van Waes, "Psyche van het Folk", Belgium
"The similarity between the art of painting and music is that you can make it as simple or as complex as you want. Some painters use difficult shapes and a lot of colours in their paintings and others only make a beautiful painting with some simple lines. There are also musicians who use a lot of instruments in a busy production and musicians who only use a guitar and a voice. Dewer from Stockholm belongs to the last category... Another suggestion is the video of "Surprise Me Now" which is also brilliant in it's simplicity."
Heet Stof, Netherland
"Som medlem i svenska Salt – trio på gränsen till både genombrott och nervsammanbrott – turnerade Daniel Ewerman världen över. När gruppen splittrades lade han musiken på hyllan. Först efter att han fick barn har han tagit upp gitarren igen sena kvällar och spelat in vad som låter som magiska vaggvisor."
Jan Gradvall, Dagens Industri
