““His own unique style (think of a cross between Paul Simon and Jeff Buckley, not just in style but also in quality) hits such a level of perfection that it’s hard to comprehend anything more beautiful….Tate is one of the most unique singer-songwriters ever...As a singer, guitarist and composer, Tate belongs to the best there is.””
Performing over 150 shows each year, Dave Tate connects with audiences through intimate solo performances and energetic sets with his group, Many Miles Band. His concerts feature a mix of his original music and his unique covers, creating an inviting and memorable experience for listeners. Tate has toured across the Western U.S. and Europe, and is one of the most in-demand musicians on the Central Coast.
Often compared to Paul Simon and Jeff Buckley, his sound blends Folk, Americana, Rock, Pop, Soul, and Country influences, while remaining uniquely his own. Sometimes high and soaring, sometimes hushed and inviting, Dave Tate’s powerful voice weaves poetic lyrics through soundscapes of finger-style acoustic guitar and percussive rhythms. Tate’s music was recently featured in a global on-flight commercial on all American Airlines international flights. (Read more)
“It is an album of contradiction and clarity,
of simplicity and great depth...Tate’s talent is bigger than our ability to label it.”
“An artist who is so incredibly good that you can’t really believe not all music magazines are writing about him already. As far as I’m concerned Tate is the best singer/songwriter around at the moment.””
