Denison Witmer is a singer/songwriter on Burnt Toast Vinyl. He has recorded a handful of full lengths and this live album, all available at burnttoastvinyl.com
It arrives in a white record jacket. Denison Witmer: Live. The reflective vinyl slips free of the pure white record jacket, fit for a compact disc. This prize of the present age of compact technology exhibits several months of touring, forty-plus concerts. The stars: the audience, and Denison Witmer. The ambient white noise of digitized hiss and friends in conversation just before the concert begins provide a soothing beginning to the evening you are about to spend with Denison, and his guitar. The concept of this album is simple; it's an audio documentary of Denison's late 2001/early 2002 international tour. Recorded entirely on a Sony MiniDisc recorder, with one stereo condenser mic, the experience of the tour is boiled down to its purest form. The vocals are reverberated, according to their surroundings on the given evening. The instruments bleed into one, giving the illusion of an authentic live experience, anytime you choose to live through it. The songs that Denison and his accompanying band "Six Parts Seven" play are memorable. Fourteen tracks from his catalogue, each trail off into a welcoming applause, and a humble "Thank you." This compilation of audio footage, was carefully edited and selected by Burnt Toast Vinyl Chief, Scott Hatch, along with Denison's brother, Douglas. Listeners of previous Denison Witmer records are fully aware of his picturesque, and highly personal songwriting. The live album is all of that wrapped into a more intimate situation.
