David Olney with Sergio Webb & Jack Irwin

On the new DUTCHMAN’s CURVE (Deadbeet Records, April 13, 2010) album, David Olney continues to cultivate his own Great American Songbook featuring his multi-dimensional character studies with unparalleled perspective. The prolific singer-songwriter has become known worldwide for his intense live performances - especially with multi-instrumentalist SERGIO WEBB - as well as his intelligent compositions as recorded by Emmylou Harris, Linda Ronstadt, Del McCoury, Tim O'Brien, Dale Ann Bradley, Ann Rabson and others. In 2009, David became a published author with "A Sign From God" featured in the release of “Amplified: Fiction From Leading Alt-Country, Indy Rock, Blues and Folk Musicians” (Melville House). In late 2009, David launched his UStream.tv “Hear & Now” 30-minute live, interactive weekly broadcast in addition to posting videos of his stellar interpretations of classic poetry on YouTube. 2009 also heralded David’s release of “Ol' Diz: A Musical Baseball Story” about Hall Of Fame St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Dizzy Dean. "In the tradition of Johnny Cash and Tom Waits, Olney has become a pioneer of the Americana music scene." -- The San Francisco Chronicle
