Early love for The Ones Who Wait:
“Denison Witmer’s poetic neo-folk style he has perfected in nearly two decades since his first release on a cassette in 1995 hasn’t faltered with his latest release, The Ones Who Wait.” –Paste
“Denison is back with The Ones Who Wait, which is on its way to being the sweetest release of the year.” –The Owl Magazine
“It’s a quintessential Denison Witmer tune: gorgeous, elegant, and melodic.” The Key on “Brooklyn With Your Highest Wall”
“With guitars that bring to mind Rubies-era Destroyer, and a waif-like voice that brings to mind a dozen East Coast acoustic artists all at once, Denison Witmer’s ‘Brooklyn With Your Highest Wall’ is a delightfully melancholic way to end the week.” –The Line Of Best Fit
“Taking cues from singer-songwriter greats like the departed Vic Chestnutt and Elliot Smith, Witmer bears more than skilled lyricism, he pours the pain of a hundred souls into each and every melody, hum, and strum.” –Beat Crave
Denison Witmer’s newest album, The Ones Who Wait, is a reflection of this understanding of self and the growth that comes through life experience. It is an intimate reflection on the meandering path of life, on family and friendships, on death balanced with new life, on endings and beginnings. In Denison’s own words, The Ones Who Wait is about “patience and reverence. Being mindful and open to what you’re experiencing. A desire to take hold of what’s happening in your life, yet trusting the mystery of it enough to let go and participate rather than dictate.”
