Well established singer-songwriter from Texas, with several albums under his belt, he has always brought a folksinger’s literacy, a rocker’s edge and somewhat skewed point of view to his records.
Twenty five years after the release of his debut for ABC Records, Dirk displays an intelligence and insight that only comes with experience. Amidst the highs and lows, wants and needs, and failed plans of life, he seems at once content, yet driven; sceptical yet hopeful; and uncertain, yet full of faith. And while musically there’s nothing fashionable, or even necessarily new here, there is an unmistakably unique style, built around his rhythm guitar, raspy tenor and inventive phrasing, that is clearly his own.
Dirk tours extensively mainly in the US and Italy.
