“His own unique style (think of a cross between Paul Simon and Jeff Buckley, not just in style but also in quality) hits such a level of perfection that it’s hard to comprehend anything more beautiful….I have come to know long before now, as Nick Drake was discovered to be, that Tate is one of the most unique singer-songwriters ever... As a singer, guitarist and composer, Tate belongs to the best there is.”

The Adventure, Many Miles - Rising Up, Many Miles (self-titled) and recent singles are available on streaming services HERE. All other Dave Tate titles are available as for purchase as downloads on Bandcamp here.

Often compared to Paul Simon and Jeff Buckley, Dave Tate’s soulful sound blends Folk, Americana, and Pop-Rock influences, while remaining uniquely his own. Sometimes high and soaring, sometimes hushed and inviting, Dave Tate’s powerful voice weaves poetic lyrics through soundscapes of finger-style guitar and acoustic rhythms. With nine studio albums, Tate’s ability to craft meaningful songs and his versatile musical style make his music relatable and impactful.  

A native of the Zion National Park area, Tate’s music reflects the awe and spirit of the towering landscapes that shaped him. His songs now also draw inspiration from the Central Coast of California, where he lives. A multi-instrumentalist, Tate enjoys recording and producing his albums at his own Red Earth Recording Studios. When he’s not performing or in the studio, he can often be found exploring the vast horizons of the American West.  (Read more)

Tate performs over 150 shows each year, touring across the Western U.S. and in Europe connecting with audiences through intimate solo performances and energetic sets with his group, Many Miles Band. His concerts feature a mix of his original music and his unique takes on covers, creating an inviting experience for listeners. Tate’s music was recently featured in a global on-flight commercial on all American Airlines international flights. 


PRESS

An artist who is so incredibly good that you can’t really believe not all music magazines are writing about him already. As far as I’m concerned Tate is the best singer/songwriter around at the moment
— Folk Forum
This is by far the most grabbing male folk album to come through our doors in months
— CDBaby
It is an album of contradiction and clarity,
of simplicity and great depth...Tate’s talent is bigger than our ability to label it..
— The Independent
I count myself very lucky to have this wonderful music. I have come to know long before now,
as Nick Drake was once discovered to be, that Tate is one of the most unique singer-songwriters ever.

Think of your favorite outdoor performance venue: Many Miles is the perfect band for it.

DAVE TATE & MANY MILES BAND

 

While living in Salt Lake City, Tate met Swedish soul singer-songwriter Victoria Lagerström, a former Miss Sweden, who came to the U.S. from Stockholm to collaborate with Tate. Their connection blossomed, leading to their marriage just three weeks after her arrival, among the red rock cliffs of Zion. Lagerström never used her return ticket to Sweden, and the couple now resides on California’s Central Coast. Lagerström frequently joins Tate in Many Miles Band performances, adding her soulful vocals and magnetic presence to the group’s dynamic sound.

The music of Many Miles Band is best described as singer-songwriter Pop/Rock with Jazz and Folk influences. Featuring two distinct songwriters and lead vocalists, the band bridges genres to connect with diverse audiences. Many Miles Band has headlined prominent festivals throughout the Southwest, including the Tanner Amphitheater, Highland Fling, Logan Summerfest, Trailfest, and Georgefest. Their latest album, Rising Up, explores the transformative power of love to overcome hardship.Visit the MANY MILES website HERE.

 
Truly brilliant singer-songwriter pop/rock of absolute world class.
