This Acoustic Friday we are featuring Dustin Lowman.

Dustin Lowman writes antisensical songs: lyric-driven tunes that deconstruct the nonsense of living. He is a self-taught singer, guitarist, harmonica player, and lyricist who patterns his style on troubadour types — Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Aimee Mann, Adrianne Lenker, Cass McCombs. Based in Brooklyn, Dustin performs regularly at venues in the borough, and has also appeared at the Poetry Foundation in Chicago, IL; The Bitter End in Manhattan, NY; and the Levitt Pavilion in Westport, CT.

Dustin has opened for Marcellus Hall (of Railroad Jerk), Will Dailey, and Ira Wolf, among others. He also hosts “His Back Pages,” a recurring Bob-Dylan-deep-cut-themed series at Cafe Wha? in Manhattan’s West Village. Of Dustin’s musical prospects, Livingston Taylor averred: “Dustin is on the path of a terrific musical career. His musical voice is waiting to be heard by those hungry for the next real thing.”

Originally from Westport, CT, Dustin began writing creatively in kindergarten. Sympathetic tales about Frankenstein and NFL-bound dragons (yes, really) in grade school gave way to confessional poetry and songs in high school. Now, Dustin’s songs straddle comedy and tragedy: A song entitled “Bankrupt & Crucified” may be his most optimistic, and “Rather Be Right” compares the merits of starting a religion and falling in love.

Our Acoustic Friday series features amazing singer-songwriters showcasing their original as well as amazing renditions of some of your favorites! Every Friday - no cover charge.
