Dave Potts left his home in Denver, CO in 1998, and hasn’t looked back since. From the time he first stepped foot in the picturesque town of Auburn, Alabama, he knew he had found his place. His years of traveling throughout the country brought him a loyal following, a catalog of over 400 original songs, and a sense of what he wanted out of his life. The slow-pace of life and the smalltown landscape of Alabama fit not only Dave’s life, but his music. On his newest CD, ‘One Night In The South’, Dave has taken the endearing characters and towns of the South, and brought them to life. Dave’s hometown newspaper, the OA News, describes his music well by saying, “Potts is at the top of his game when singing about the mundane splendor of small-town life; those stolen moments we so often overlook.” Though his songwriting style has taken on a regional feel, it has brought his music national attention. In 2003, Dave was a finalist at the prestigious Kerrville Folk Festival New Folk Contest, as well as the Telluride Troubador contest in Colorado. His last album, ‘Days Like These’ was picked as a Top 12 DIY by Performing Songwriter Magazine. Since settling in Auburn, Dave has made a name for himself in the Southeast, performing at many of the regions most respected listening rooms, from Nashville’s Bluebird Café to Atlanta’s Eddie’s Attic. He was named the ‘Songwriter Of The Year’ in Columbus, GA in 2002 at the Songwriter Shootout sponsored by The Loft and the Chattahootchee Folk Music Society. While you are likely to find Dave traveling the interstates of the country in the middle of the night, on his way to the next venue, you may also find him cruising the streets of Auburn in a green mini-van with 2 screaming kids in the back, and his wife, Lara, by his side. Dave was married to the girl of his dreams just 2 short years after moving to Alabama. While Dave’s songs are often character sketches, straight out of black and white movies, many of his love songs and stories of families and faith, prove to be true. | ||||||
