David Ramirez has a-helluva-a-lot to say. Seventeen million streams on Spotify and counting, to be exact. The singer from Austin, Texas does not write lyrics that are subtle—more like a call for authenticity in a faux culture. One fan calls a recent show an “emotionally raw performance.” Ramirez’s songs do not appease, but beg listeners to confront emo- tions and beliefs they usually handle alone. And he isn’t afraid to surprise peo- ple with a changing set-list, special guests and an impromptu time cap- sule, recording each show and de- livering a downloadable link within 24 hours. Ramirez says in an article written In The Bend, “I got the idea from The Grateful Dead. They en- couraged people to bring recorders to their shows, and it started this cul- ture of people trading tapes. I think it was a really fun thing. Maybe I was a little too egotistical to think that people across the country would be trading download links of my shows, but if that were to happen, I would think that would be really fun.” A PENSIVE DAVID RAMIREZ.
