If you know the name, it’s more likely than not to be because of his time fronting Essex, UK melodic rock band InMe; over the next year, however, your perspective on Dave McPherson may well change.
His time writing and performing with InMe has seen Dave score a Number One in the UK Rock Charts when he was just 19, play the Main Stage of festivals such as Leeds/ Reading, and tour the world – sharing stages with Deftones, Serj Tankian, Feeder, Biffy Clyro, Pendulum and many more. Like the aforementioned Tankian, and the likes of former Million Dead frontman Frank Turner, McPherson is now ready to step out on his own properly as his band enter a new phase following their ‘Best of’ release.
Flying solo, however, is nothing new to Dave – armed with an acoustic guitar and a disciplined hard work ethic he’s been touring anywhere and everywhere since 2007 and has played over 700 shows.
Since 2007, Dave has been touring solo with his acoustic guitar, connecting with fans through soulful vocals, intricate guitar work, and self-penned songs that stand out in a crowded singer-songwriter scene. After releasing DIY EPs, he launched his first solo album, The Hardship Diaries, in 2011 via PledgeMusic, smashing his funding target and proving the album format still matters.
In 2013, Dave takes creativity to the next level with The Good People Movement: 365, writing and recording a song every day while releasing and touring his second solo album. For Dave, music isn’t “hard work”: it’s life, passion, and craft combined.
Dreamoirs, released in May 2013, builds on this vision. Inspired by dreams and featuring full-band instrumentation, it’s a reflective, focused record that will be shared through exclusive fan experiences and rare live performances, showing once again why Dave McPherson remains a standout artist in the UK music scene.
