On April 14, 2023, @denisonwitmer released a new standalone single via AKR called, “It’s Okay to Live A Quiet Life,” in two versions, “For A,” and “For E.” Produced and performed by Witmer with help from Thomas Bartlett and Andy Park, Denison wrote the song after a road trip with a friend who asked, “When is it ok to just be? Can’t I just live a quiet life?” “So much of our energy is spent trying to separate the signal from the noise,” says Denison, “This song is meant as an encouragement to the listener to pause and take the time they need to rehabilitate. It’s ok to live a quiet life. You don’t have to prove a thing to yourself or anyone.” Link in our bio to stream both versions now.

One of the best nights of my life in music. Thank you to everyone who came to the Anything At All anniversary concert. Here’s a photo round of the full band show with on 2/7. Thank you to @nielsenfamilyband @badhints @thewoodshines @katiejoynellisart @westartlanc for making the night so special. Thank you to @meglui for opening with her beautiful songs. A question I always get asked in interviews is “What do you like about being in the studio making albums?” I always answer, “It’s the closest I get to feeling like I’m in a band. The joy of other musicians ideas and contributions always lifts the songs more than I can alone”. To experience that feeling live for the first time in over 15 years was incredibly special. AND - having my oldest child Asa playing xylophone (swipe for photo) added unforgettable joy. All photos by @matthattanyc unless credited otherwise. I still have a lot of photos and videos to go through for both shows. I’ll share more soon. For now, if you want to see some video of the night, head over to my highlighted reels. Xo,
Denison

Happy anniversary to ‘Anything At All’ - which officially turns one on February 14th! In celebration, the ‘Anything At All’ LP is on sale today only in the AKR store. About ‘Anything At All:’ Recorded sporadically over a period of two years, ‘Anything At All’ was primarily created at @sufjan ’s Catskills studio during the pandemic, with additional sessions recorded by @andyrecording , in Seattle, WA. Contributors include Stevens and Park as well as @meglui , @sam.evian , @misshannahcohen , @seantlane , and @keenanomeara , amongst others. The album’s musical aesthetic marries Denison’s ‘70s folk vibe with Sufjan’s signature bells and whistles: lush strings and woodwinds, women’s choir, and an occasional jazzy saxophone weave their way around Denison’s matter-of-fact vocals and acoustic guitar. These are simple folk songs with bursts of awe and wonder. Visit the AKR store / link in our bio to purchase now!

Band appreciation post! I rarely get to play live with other musicians. The @nielsenfamilyband , @badhints , and the @thewoodshines are all such talented musicians and great bands in their own right. I’m flattered to have them join me on February 7 @westartlanc ! They’ve done an incredible job helping me arrange the songs for this show and I’m forever grateful. I’m excited to share the stage with them on Saturday. Thank you Jordan (from Nielsen) for making this lovely poster ✨ Slide 2 is a video of The Nielsen Family playing their song “The Rule” Slide 3 is all of us together post practice on Sunday ✨ Both Saturday and Sunday shows will have @meglui opening ✨✨✨✨✨ Tix in bio

In 2012, Denison Witmer played a house show at Live From the Cellar — Josh's basement turned listening room. Pure magic. It's a huge honor and lovely full circle moment to welcome him at West Art for his album release shows on Feb 7th & 8th. 'Anything at All' is an incredibly intentional record, produced by Sufjan Stevens and @asthmatickittyrecords . He'll be joined on Saturday night by @nielsenfamilyband , @badhints , and @meglui . This is a special one.
