Derek Eisel

"Eisel explores relationships with a charming and earnest folk sensibility. With a vocal tone and cadence that at times brings to mind contemporaries like Father John Misty, Eisel sings with a sense of poignancy that is complemented by a lush blend of guitars, strings, and pedal steel. There is tumult at times in the lyrics, but Eisel always seems to radiate a sense of calmness as he bears his soul. The result is a collection of songs that feel timeless, like classic country songs from some familiar past" - from Glide Magazine about deput album Last Resort Fire Department.

Eisel sings writes and sings songs of love and loss, about his husband and former lovers, accompanied on bass by Pablo Paz and joined for special occasions by Tacoma's sweetheart Bobbi Jo Blessings.
