Dave Tate

Sometimes high and soaring, sometimes hushed and inviting, Dave Tate’s powerful voice weaves poetic lyrics through soundscapes of finger-style acoustic guitar and percussive rhythms. Often compared to Jeff Buckley and Paul Simon, his sound blends Folk, Americana, Rock, Pop and Country influences, while remaining uniquely his own. With nine studio albums, Tate’s work explores a broad range of styles, appealing to fans of thoughtful songwriting and accessible genre-blending music. His songs are deeply inspired by his love of storytelling and a connection to the natural world.

Tate has been hailed as “One of the most unique artists ever.” by Heaven Magazine and “An artist who is so incredibly good that you can't really believe not all music magazines are writing about him already.” by Folk Form in the Netherlands. 

Performing over 150 shows each year, Tate connects 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 soulful covers, creating an inviting and memorable experience for listeners. Having toured across the Western U.S. and Europe, he continues to make his mark as a compelling voice in today’s music scene.

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.
