Album Notes

Dry September is an LA-based band at the forefront of rock's New Populism movement. Frontman David Tokaji is a 2008 nominee for Singer-Songwriter of the Year by both the Los Angeles Music Awards and the Independent Singer-Songwriter Association. Driven by crunchy guitars and Hammond organs, their music tells stories of resistance, community, and reform--tales of the downtrodden outcasts and underdogs among us.

The band has recently received a number of accolades:

- David Tokaji is a 2008 nominee for Male Singer-Songwriter of the year by the Los Angeles Music Awards.

- Tokaji is also a 2008 nominee for Singer-Songwriter of the Year by the Independent Singer-Songwriter Association.

- The song Back to Birmingham is a 2008 nominee for Americana/Roots Song of the Year by the Hollywood Music Awards.

- Dry September received an Honorable Mention at the 2008 Malibu Music Awards.

- The song Back to Birmingham will be featured in an upcoming CD and DVD tribute to Martin Luther King entitled Dream On.

- The song Build a New Town was selected for the Monster Vox College Radio Sampler (June 2008 release).

- The song Back to Birmingham has been selected for the Songs of Justice CD (Fall 2008 release).

Their latest CD, entitled Build a New Town, features 10 new tracks. These songs present characters at their most hungry and most defiant, fighting for dignity during hard times in a hard land.

Dry September has been performing regularly throughout Southern California for the past two years and developed a committed community of followers. Recent appearances in support of their new album include shows at Key Club, The Roxy, and The Viper Room.
