"new" single - The Sound of Me Ignoring You released everywhere

In 2007, I was inspired by a whining 2-year old to write a simple song called "The Sound Of Me Ignoring You." It's so amazing to listen to my child's voice from all those years ago and remember what that little stinker was like! Give this one a listen, and try not to smile.

After 8 weeks of rehearsal, the Grosse Ile Ecumenical Choir presented Eric Whitacre's The Sacred Veil at Sacred Heart Church on Grosse Ile, MI on Sunday, April 13 2025. The performance was a fundraiser for Karmanos Cancer Institute.

​A camera malfunction resulted in distorted video, although it adds an "otherworldly" quality to a haunting performance.

Today, you can stream and download DFMartin & Co's new single, Let It Be (Mary's Song).  I wrote this song 10 years ago, and it tells the story of a young mother as she swaddles the Lord: "Mary said someday you may save the world but right now you're only mine."

Dave here, I'm excited to announce that I am finally putting a band together to bring the 40+ songs I've written over the last 15 years to life in front of general concert audiences in the Detroit area and beyond.  

I've assembled a great core of musicians, including GIPC Band bassist and songwriting collaborator Godfrey Porter, former Raising The Dead drummer Joseph Waldecker, and pedal steel and organist Heinz Plaumann.  Together with me on guitar and keyboards, we will bring my spirit-focused rock anthems to life.  

Our first performance will be on Sunday June 9 from noon-3 as part of Wyandotte's Sunday Socials Concert Series.  You can RSVP and learn more here.  Like our Facebook page for regular updates, new website coming soon.

Our set will include this song, Sarah, and many more!
