Album Notes

This 17-track concept album from D.P. is his first full-length official release, though he has released 5 other EPs, mixtapes and unofficial projects in the last 2 years.

'Bar Tab Blues' is an introspective trip through the life of a struggling musician, told through stories of 20-something youths navigating the world of failed relationships, drug-addiction, all-night parties and faded dreams. D.P.'s bluesy piano style shines on this experty crafted work of art. The tracks often rely heavily on the powerful and often epic song-structure, creating a soulful backdrop upon which D.P. belts out one addictively catchy hook after another in his smoke-and-whiskey battered voice. This is the most exciting new voice in hip-hop today, and D.P.'s debut album will take you on a trip down the dark and desolate alleys of wasted youth through a unique mixture of storytelling, piano-bar licks and haunting melodies.

As a trained pianst, D.P. writes, produces and plays almost all of the music on the album, only recruiting additional guitar and vocal work from some of his best musician friends to spice up his original compositions.
