Lyrical and Instrumental Songster. All original and independent music.

Performing and recording artist Dave Desmelik has established himself as an accomplished and rising singer/songwriter and instrumentalist whose music might best be described as Americana or Alt/Country. Drawing upon influences from country to bluegrass to blues to rock and roll, Desmelik writes and performs an original blend of songs. His seven albums, dating from 1999 to present, have garnered acclaim and positive reviews in various music communities around the world and he has toured extensively in support of his songs including numerous performances in the USA and UK. Focusing on lyrics, melody, instrumental and word phrasing, Desmelik mixes distinct ingredients into his songwriting as well as his live shows. Music critic Rein van den Berg (altcountryforum.nl) states “Desmelik’s music is honest, his are relevant questions, and he plays guitar viciously. This man carries with him the legacy of a dying breed.”

THE Dubber

In the tradition of the Mississippi Delta Bluesmen, THE Dubber confronts the world with only his words and a guitar. The self- taught singer/songwriter continues to reinvents himself by infusing styles from a 30 year musical journey. America's Rock, Jazz and Funk, flavored by the International sounds of Reggae, Middle Eastern Folk and Afro Beat, is the complex stew that helps him express his blues and completes such a distinctive sound.

Since 2005, the Washington DC born / South Carolina based artist has been trailblazing the U.S. with an honest and intimate stage show. His sophisticated one man band guitar style and universal message of Oneness, keeps THE Dubber booked year round. Always a crowd favorite, he has played prestigious venues such as South by Southwest Music Conference), Mid-Atlantic Music Conference and the South Carolina State Museum.

With radio airplay here and abroad, three U.S. tours and three albums "In the Temple of..." 2005, "Global Warning" 2010 and his latest “Cleaning Up The Dirty South" 2014 under his belt. The 2014 South Carolina Arts Commission "One-Time Art Project" grant recipient, recently embarked on his second European tour early this year. Fueled by these accomplishment, THE Dubber feels very optimistic about his continuing musical journey.
