Artist description Woody Guthrie once said, "a song can't just be good, it has to be good for something." With the spirit of the past (distant and not-so-distant) as a guide, Joey Dempster writes and sings contemporary folk songs with substance.

Music Style Contemporary Folk

Musical Influences David Wilcox, Chuck Pyle, Shawn Colvin, John Gorka, Ani DiFranco

Press Reviews "Dempster isn't just one of those guys who sits there strumming the standard G, C, and D chords and singing tired pseudo-intellectual tunes about the good ol' flower power days. He's a stealthy strummer with undulating rhythms heavy in the David Wilcox, Leo Kottke, and John Gorka veins. His vocals run the gamut from soul-baring ballads to whimsical songs about livin' it up in the wilderness. ... His pensive and lilting original arrangements really show him to be a complete musician." Shawn Hammond, The Daily Universe, Friday, Oct. 8, 1999
