 ██     Patience is a virtue, they say ù Denison Witmer knows this       ██
 ██     well from personal experience. Until recently, only a small      ██
 ██     audience has had the good fortune to hear Witmer live or on      ██
 ██     record. All of that is changing, however, due to the company     ██
 ██     he keeps and his steadfast dedication to making worthwhile       ██
 ██     music.                                                           ██
 ██                                                                      ██
 ██     WitmerÆs emergent circle of talented peers includes: The         ██
 ██     Innocence Mission, Sufjan Stevens, My Morning Jacket, Damien     ██
 ██     Jurado, and Rosie Thomas. Denison has toured with all of         ██
 ██     these artists, some of whom appear as guest musicians on his     ██
 ██     new record, Are You A Dreamer?                                   ██
 ██                                                                      ██
 ██     Recorded in Lancaster, Pa., with Innocence Mission guitarist     ██
 ██     Don Peris (the same mentor who helmed WitmerÆs flawless          ██
 ██     debut Safe Away), Are You A Dreamer? extends WitmerÆs            ██
 ██     previous folk stylings with a broader lyrical approach and       ██
 ██     more thoughtful arrangements. The venerable CMJ (College         ██
 ██     Music Journal) proclaimed: ôDenison Witmer applies               ██
 ██     confessional sensitivity to his newest album as he ponders       ██
 ██     dreams and the hopes they inspire. [His] gentle guitar and       ██
 ██     soothing voice are deceptively powerful, enough to put even      ██
 ██     the most jaded indie rockers in touch with their inner James     ██
 ██     Taylor.ö This is high praise in a niche market economy,          ██
 ██     where gimmickry and glitz too often beat out melody and          ██
 ██     meaning.                                                         ██
 ██                                                                      ██
 ██     Witmer himself is as understated and deceptively low-key as      ██
 ██     his music, shyly letting it be known that he is delighted        ██
 ██     recent press has placed him more solidly in the æ70s             ██
 ██     singer-songwriter camp than among flash-in-the-pan               ██
 ██     ôneo-folkies.ö HeÆs quick to point out that he has been          ██
 ██     making records for almost a decade, and isnÆt just following     ██
 ██     some trend.                                                      ██
 ██                                                                      ██
 ██     Perhaps it is this tenure in the indie music scene that          ██
 ██     gives his music such depth, such appeal. ôI like touring and     ██
 ██     revisiting places over and over again to a slightly larger       ██
 ██     audience each time,ö Witmer says. ôI know there is a limited     ██
 ██     group of people who will get into my music, but as long as       ██
 ██     IÆm doing something honest that resonates with them, IÆm         ██
 ██     confident theyÆll pick up on that and keep coming to my          ██
 ██     shows. So far this has been the case and I feel very             ██
 ██     blessed. I prefer it over having some huge overnight success     ██
 ██     and wondering whether my fans will still be around next          ██
 ██     year.ö                                                           ██
 ██                                                                      ██
 ██     On Are You A Dreamer?, Witmer examines beginnings, endings,      ██
 ██     imagination, faith, aspiration, and the world of dreams with     ██
 ██     equal sensitivity. The ethereal subject matter melds             ██
 ██     seamlessly into the airy acoustic sound conjured from            ██
 ██     WitmerÆs guitar and talented band of collaborators. Karen        ██
 ██     PerisÆs haunting harmonies, Don PerisÆs tremulous electric       ██
 ██     guitar, James McAlisterÆs conscientious drumming, and Sufjan     ██
 ██     StevensÆ terse banjo work all come across the speakers as        ██
 ██     perfect complements to the songwriterÆs innermost thoughts.      ██
 ██     The outcome is intimate, with focus on WitmerÆs dexterous        ██
 ██     guitar work and expressive voice.                                ██
 ██                                                                      ██
 ██     And all this finesse and polish has not gone unnoticed.          ██
 ██     Recently, Entertainment Weekly gushed: ôWe are smitten with      ██
 ██     these sweet drowsy ditties. à [WitmerÆs] modest reach and        ██
 ██     pensive melodies could easily get lost in the white noise of     ██
 ██     contemporary culture, it would be a shame, though, to miss       ██
 ██     tiny gems like these.ö                                           ██
 ██                                                                      ██
 ██     Are You A Dreamer? serves as a powerful reminder that no         ██
 ██     matter how many sensitive guys with acoustic guitars make        ██
 ██     records, genuine talents like Witmer ù hidden somewhere          ██
 ██     among lesser lights ù will eventually reveal themselves.         ██
 ██     Warmth shines through every moment of Are You A Dreamer?,        ██
 ██     bringing a welcome sense of optimism often lacking in the        ██
 ██     world of confessional troubadours. WitmerÆs positive spirit      ██
 ██     of regeneration has been recognized, as Hyperactive Magazine     ██
 ██     noted: ô[Are You A Dreamer?] takes listeners on a journey        ██
 ██     through picturesque landscapes of heartfelt dreams and           ██
 ██     hopes. à Witmer has earned a spot close to the front of the      ██
 ██     long line of young singer/songwriters who are bound to make      ██
 ██     it big.ö                                                         ██
 ██                                                                      ██
 ██     In the singerÆs own words, ôAre You A Dreamer? is about          ██
 ██     finding peace and remaining hopeful in a situation that          ██
 ██     feels completely out of control. A lot of people are feeling     ██
 ██     defeated right now. WeÆre full of anxiety associated with        ██
 ██     societyÆs pressure to become something more important than       ██
 ██     what we feel we currently are. WeÆre constantly being told       ██
 ██     that if weÆre not moving forward (or able to prove how weÆve     ██
 ██     gotten to where we are with perfect checks and balances)         ██
 ██     then we canÆt be trusted or taken seriously. Are You A           ██
 ██     Dreamer? is about giving in to lifeÆs mysteries, picking         ██
 ██     yourself back up, and continuing to go for it even in the        ██
 ██     face of a string of failures.ö                                   ██
