Dave Mehling of Duluth, MN combines mellow indie-rock tones and poetic lyrics to create sweeping renditions of his original music. Described as a cross between Damien Rice and Ryan Adams, he shapes his solo performances around the audience and room to connect to his listeners. An average set will have Mehling performing melodic pop on the piano and suddenly leashing into electric guitar. Since beginning performances at the age of 16, he has taken a self-critical approach to finding his voice and becoming a better musician. In the last 4 years he has performed at dozens of venues, recorded several demos, and honed his style of writing and performing. Now at the age of 20, armed with his late uncle’s battered Gibson guitar, a debut album recorded at Duluth’s famous Sacred Heart Studios, and the experience of many twice his age, David Mehling sets out to give his audience what we so often strive to find: art. | |||
