Dave Nachmanoff performs "Not What I Expected" with Liz Bligan and Mike Lindauer.Dave grew up listening to a lot of folk and bluegrass in the DC area, including Pete Seeger and Arlo Guthrie and Weavers, the Seldom Scene, John Denver, Kingston Trio and more, then through one of his babysitters, heard Simon and Garfunkel and the Beatles, got into Bob Dylan and some of the British folk rock, like Steelye Span and Fairport Convention, but after discovering the Beatles music, went more into rock, including many of the West Coast folk-rock acts like the Eagles, America and Jackson Browne. In the late 70's he got into Al Stewart and never really recovered from that.Other influences in the 80's included some of the 'pub rockers' like Nick Lowe and Graham Parker, and the New Wave bands like the Cars, Elvis Costello and Joe Jackson. Also Bruce Springsteen, who was in inspiration as much for his style of performance as the for the songs. Later in the 80's Dave got into mainstream country for awhile, particularly Mary Chapin Carpenter, and then alt country like Steve Earle, Lucinda Williams and Rodney Crowell. The singer-songwriter boom of the 90's was the time that Dave really started to develop as a songwriter, and of course he was influenced by both the well known artists like David Wilcox, Shawn Colvin and Richard Shindell, and some of his friends and peers who were less well-known, but great writers. More recently Dave has become obsessed with the clever power pop of Fountains of Wayne and some of the other melodic alternative rock bands.For more info on Dave see www.davenach.com.Singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Dave Nachmanoff saw Al Stewart live for the first time at Royal Albert Hall in London in 1985 and in 2006 came back and performed with him. At the age of ten he played with Libba Cotton ("Freight Train"). He's led songwriting workshops for German school children, synagogue groups, a Native American tribe, stroke survivors, and for the Silcocks, a family with 44 adopted boys. In addition, he's a heckofa songwriter in styles ranging from folk to pop who's sold over 15,000 recordings. He's a father of two and writes custom songs for weddings and other special occasions. As a side player (guitar, piano, bass, accordion and more) he's worked with Stewart on a regular basis, as well as many others at venues as far ranging as The Bottom Line and the Edmonton Folk Festival. Oh, and he's got a doctorate in Philosophy. That he earned in his spare time.Dave grew up in the 60'and 70's surrounded by the active folk scene of northern Virginia and Washington DC and inspired by Pete Seeger, country rock, early revival folk like the Kingston Trio and later on, 80's new wave. Toss in a bit of celtic folk-rock a la Fairport Convention and it's clear how he got his rich melodic sound. His latest effort, "Time Before the Fall" offers a diverse palate of genres, from the traditional English ballad style "Midnight Sea" to the folk-pop of "Lucky." There are just enough hooky guitar licks on these songs to make you smile but not so much that they distract from the wonderful stories and out of the ordinary characters. There's the guy who brightens a city corner with flowers in the upbeat "George's Corner" and a man who remorsefully reports his brother's activities to the authorities in "Judas Kiss." He's got eight albums in all, including his first, Candy Shower, released in 1997. Plans are in the works for a new release in the next year.With a personable style that's adaptable to a variety of stages, he looks larger than life although he's a vertically challenged five foot two (and no, he doesn't have blue eyes). Just Plain Folks honored him with the 2001 Songwriter of the Year award. For five consecutive years he was the Susan Lucci of the South Florida Folk Festival, earning a place as a finalist before winning Best Overall in 2002. SingOut! has praised his "... heartfelt, inspired songwriting ... with a delivery both biting and assured."Al Stewart (born Alastair Ian Stewart on 5 September 1945), is a British singer-songwriter and musician. He is best known for his 1976 single "Year of the Cat" and its 1978 follow-up "Time Passages" (both of which were produced by Alan Parsons). Stewart grew up in the coastal resort town of Bournemouth, Dorset, England. He moved to the United States in 1977 and recorded/produced most of his work in Los Angeles during the late 1970s and throughout the 1980s. [ More Detail ]
This video is a song that was recorded at Club Carm. The artist is Dave Nachmanoff, a singer-songwriter out of Davis, California who was a philosophy major and decided to pursue a career in music. He plays acoustic guitar with singer-songweriter Al Stewart, who had the hits "Year of the Cat' and "Time Passages".Let's share some of Dave's influences:Dave grew up listening to a lot of folk and bluegrass in the DC area, including Pete Seeger and Arlo Guthrie and Weavers, the Seldom Scene, John Denver, Kingston Trio and more, then through one of his babysitters, heard Simon and Garfunkel and the Beatles, got into Bob Dylan and some of the British folk rock, like Steelye Span and Fairport Convention, but after discovering the Beatles music, went more into rock, including many of the West Coast folk-rock acts like the Eagles, America and Jackson Browne.

More recently Dave has become obsessed with the clever power pop of Fountains of Wayne and some of the other melodic alternative rock bands.As a guitarist, Dave was very influenced the the acoustic lead of Maury Muehleisen, who played with Jim Croce and was killed in the same plane crash with him, also by Tim Renwick, Isaac Guillory and Peter White, all of whom played with Al Stewart. Mark Knopfler was a big influence and inspiration, and so was Django Reinhardt, the wonderful gypsy jazz guitarist and namesake of Dave's son.Various classical and jazz composers probably factor in somewhere, and the classic standards of Cole Porter, Hoagy Carmichael and the Gershwins etc... all provide inspiration. Dave's tastes are pretty eclectic, but as long as there is some passion, expression and interesting content, it is all grist for the mill! [ More Detail ]
Dave Nachmanoff and Al Stewart perform "A Child's View of the Eisenhower Years" at a radio station on their tour.Singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Dave Nachmanoff saw Al Stewart live for the first time at Royal Albert Hall in London in 1985 and in 2006 came back and performed with him.

He's that neighbor who always has a friendly wave but doesn't keep you from dinner. You'll probably forget about that meal anyway when he starts to tell his stories and sing his well-crafted tunes in a voice like an older Rob Thomas (Matchbox 20) but a guitar style that's more Mark Knopfler or Richard Thompson. And just as versatile too.He's shared the stage with Cheryl Wheeler, Steve Forbert, The Pogues, America, Alison Krause and many more.If you're looking for a unique gift or a way to celebrate your wedding or other important event, ask Dave about writing you a custom song. It'll be much more appreciated than another blender and it'll be remembered for years. Just send him a few details and he'll take it from there, writing the entire song, recording it and sending you the CD. Or, if you'd rather take a more active role, you can write and/or record the song with Dave.Just Plain Folks honored him with the 2001 Songwriter of the Year award.

this one seems better than former oneprobably because of the wall which helps me to keep good posture(the way i do is originally a bit weird since i first took up the guitar ==;).this version is partly based on a live performance by S&G in New York 1966.guess you guys have already found the differences.to tell you the truth i tried to record many other songs today but my voice sucks today.it didn't allow me to make files that are good enough to be uploaded.i made this instead eventually.
