Those that have witnessed a Dave Wells performance are privy to the beguiling power of this most rare of musicians, whose command of both voice and guitar captivates to the point of transcendency.
The tea leaves tell us that 2025 will be a big year for Wells, who has been quietly making music with world-renowned producer and engineer Nick DiDia at his prestigious Byron Bay studio. There’s whispers of a dark, acoustic record that tips its hat to sonically sparse recordings like Buckley’s Grace and Bruce Springsteen’s seminal Nebraska.
DiDia, whose resumé as a producer and engineer speaks for itself – Something For Kate, Pearl Jam and Powderfinger, heard Wells perform live on ABC national radio and reached out to the Hunter-based artist.
There’s no question that Wells’ storytelling tackles grand themes, situations and characters that speak to the very essence of our shared humanity, always painted in succinct empathetic strokes.
