RIVVRS (solo) with special guest Dave Tamkin /  by Dave Tamkin

Use Code: LIVING and get 2 for 1

RIVVRS comes to the Dove for a solo show!

After a three year hiatus, RIVVRS returns with brand new album Start Living; a raw, vulnerable collection of alternative folk songs about the struggles that come with addiction, mental health, and sober recovery.
RIVVRS first gained recognition in 2016 with debut single “I Will Follow You” which landed at #3 on the iTunes Singer/Songwriter Chart, ultimately gaining more than 15 million streams and garnering multiple features across tv and film; including Netflix Original Film “When We First Met” and the hit NBC show “About a Boy.”


To date, RIVVRS has been featured in more than 75 syncs across the globe; including Reebok, Riverdale, Monday Night Football, Lucifer, Bates Motel, and most recently the Disney+ show “Big Shot” starring John Stamos.


After the unexpected death of his mother in 2018, RIVVRS packed his bags and moved back to where he got his roots in Northern California; immediately halting all momentum he had built in Los Angeles. After a struggle with alcohol and depression, a slow transformation began. Marked by an attempt to get sober in 2019, RIVVRS ventured into the studio that year and finished the album mid-pandemic in 2020.
With new LP Start Living, RIVVRS returns to what he knows best; soulful folk music with a message of hope. Accompanied by an all-star band, including Mason Stoops (Jackson Browne), Dan Bailey (Father John Misty), Joshua Ray Gooch (Shania Twain), and produced by sonic-guru Justin Glasco (Anderson East, The Lone Bellow), the album feels more natural and organic than past releases, marking a new phase for RIVVRS and an attempt to be open and vulnerable to those who may be struggling.


Catch RIVVRS performing solo acoustic across the United States, on tour this Fall. Start Living is expected on October 1, 2021.

Thank you to The Rocky Mountain Collegian! 

Boulder singer-songwriter Dave Tamkin’s latest single offers some wisdom while giving shoes to the Boulder Shelter for the Homeless.

Tamkin is an indie folk-rock singer-songwriter from Chicago known for his rhythmic, acoustic style and honest lyricism. Tamkin aims to donate a portion of funds raised from his newest single, “SHOES,” including Livestream performances, to help the Boulder Shelter for the Homeless afford socks and shoes to those in need.

“As people experiencing homelessness keeps growing every year since I’ve been here, for almost 12 years now, I just thought, ‘Maybe I could write a song that could help do something about it,’” Tamkin said... MORE HERE

SHOES - Release for APRIL 1st By Dave Tamkin & CO. /  by Dave Tamkin

Dave Tamkin & Co. "SHOES"

Offers A Way to Help Others

Apr 1

BOULDER, CO (March 25, 2020) - Veteran singer-songwriter Dave Tamkin, along with his band Dave Tamkin & Co., announce the release of the new single “SHOES”. “SHOES” will be exclusively available for download/streaming at www.davetamkin.com/music on April 1, 2020 until the worldwide release on April 7th where it will then be available on all major streaming services. Dave Tamkin joins forces with Brad Huffman & Chad “Chadzilla” Johnson to create a unique style of melody driven, acoustic sounds that is based around a fresh musical vision for Dave’s newest single “SHOES”. He tells a story about embracing the road in front of you with all it has to offer while not judging the characters that cross your path or join you on your journey. These introspective lyrics come with a fast paced tempo, creative harmonies, smoking guitars, a driving deep back beat and playful piano and horn instrumentations. 

“I brought “SHOES” to the band a while ago as I was struggling with not being on the road and touring more often. I was also struggling with seeing the growing population of people experiencing homelessness in Boulder, CO. A new shelter opened up where a guitar shop used to be down the street from us. With each passing week, the line would grow with people waiting for an opportunity to sleep under a roof with some heat. As winter moved in we heard that shoes were one of the hardest thing to come by. So we plan on trading some new music for a pair of shoes that need a new adventure and could help a someone further their journey to a safe and more secure life,” says Tamkin.

Tamkin has plans to tour Colorado, Utah, California, Oregon, Washington, and Wyoming in support of the release and to collaborate with local shelters in providing shoes for the homeless. Originally scheduled for April, the tour has been postponed and will be rescheduled this fall, dates to be determined. With the world dealing with the global COVID-19 pandemic, Dave Tamkin & Co. will be staying in touch with fans through social media and their newsletter while they finish the new album due out later in 2020. 

“Start looking at your shoes, stop looking at mine. This is our story, it’s what we leave behind”

dAVE tAMKIN AND co. sHOeS

Recorded at The Huffkin Files Studio in Boulder, CO, mixed by Tim King in Cedar Rapids, IA, and Mastered by Jim Wilson (Gregory Alan Isakov, Yawpers, Charlie Crockett, Bob Mould, Richard Thompson), “SHOES” was a collaborative effort from Dave Tamkin & Co.. “I’m fortunate to share this song with Brad Huffman and Chadzilla,” says Tamkin. “Brad Huffman spent a lot of time orchestrating the instrumentation, it was fun watching him work. The two of us had many discussions in front of the console deciding which direction we wanted to take this song. After playing it a few times with Chad, it was clear his energetic approach would guide a feel we all could be proud of.” 

About Dave Tamkin:

Dave Tamkin’s shows vary from intimate solo acoustic performances to a full band experience (Dave Tamkin & Co.) encapsulate a mixture of personal lyrics and skilled songwriting set against a high-energy percussive with an Indie Americana, guitar driven backbone. Tamkin has shared the stage with Guster, David Ryan Harris, Donavon Frankenreiter, Butch Walker, Stephen Kellogg, Brendan James, Eric Hutchinson, Willy Porter, Daphne Willis and Peter Mulvey to name a few. Tamkin has a style that’s hard to resist. His lyrics are unabashedly honest and his passion for playing is undying.

Preorder the New "Bleeding Orange" Today!

IMG_4824.jpg

The new studio version of "Bleeding Orange" comes out on Tuesday, June 4th but you can jump on the pre-order on iTunes HERE


 I wrote the lyrics to "Bleeding Orange" at The CrucibleRecording Studio in Boulder, CO as my friend Tim King worked on different beats, chord progressions and samples. He flew in from his home town of Cedar Rapids, IA where he recorded and co-produced my last studio EP with Dick Prall.

While placing the finishing touches on "Bleeding Orange" we asked Dick Prall to come back and add his magic. It didn't take long for him to start recording himself inhaling into the microphone to mimic butterfly wings. I'm truly grateful to work with both of these talented musicians & songwriters. 
 
A special thanks to Tyler Stück for playing and supplying a bunch of ideas on drums, to Vince Di Pasquale at vdpstudios.com for mastering this puppy and to my good friend Ted “Tedbanger” Mielas for designing the artwork! You can read more on the song HERE from PRESSED FRESH PR
