A strange and wonderful thing occured...

When you meet Americana singer/songwriter Dave Tucker, it doesn’t take long to see that he’s the salt of the earth. A carpenter by day, Dave is a hard-working man who tells it like it is and who believes whole-heartedly in the bartering system. On December 18, 2012, Dave will independently release his fourth studio album, In Kind, produced by recording artist and multi-platinum songwriter Wendy Waldman in Longhouse II, the studio he built for her.

The album features Dave Tucker (acoustic guitar, vocals), Phil Hurley (lead guitar), Tom Fillman (drums/percussion), and Ted Russell Kamp (upright and electric basses), and was engineered by Mike Sawitzke, mixed by Rob Hoffman (Quincy Jones, Christina Aguilera), and mastered by Sangwook “Sunny” Nam at the Mastering Lab. In Kind illustrates Dave’s all-encompassing, explorative nature by guiding the listener through traditional Americana, folk and roots, to pop rock with a little country swagger, then throws curveballs with a reggae beat and singer/songwriter ballad.
