Dave Mehling:
Dave Mehling will re-release a cassette of his 2021 album, Beach Boy, backed by a brand new band and support from Minneapolis quartet, Val Son.
Dave Mehling is a Minnesota based songwriter, performer and educator. Most recently he released Tired Fruit, an album of ambient compositions and Beach Boy, a smorgasbord of musical styles ranging from folk and electronic to drone and avant-garde.
This Beach Boy release will premier a new group featuring Pratik Singh on Tabla, Emily Haavik and Beau Jeffrey on keyboards, Haley Rydell on fiddle and Nyssa Krause on bass. Made up primarily of acoustic instruments, they will affect and distort their natural timbres sending them into outer space - playing tunes from the record, some ambient improvisation and a couple unexpected covers.
“You are drawn in with his lyrics. they speak of very universal issues of love which we all have,but few of
us have the talent to give them a voice. Dave Mehling possesses this rare gift.” - Becca Martin
