about

Released in 2005, When Your Eyes Are Closed is the 4th independent recording from Americana singer/songwriter Dave Desmelik. This album was received well in various Americana communities reaching #6 on the EuroAmericana Chart as well as significant airplay and reviews in the USA.

"With this album, Desmelik assembles an impressive collection of NPR-ready songs that are both traditional-sounding and contemporary. When Your Eyes Are Closed is respectful of its simple heritage, while remaining slightly unconventional and adventurous."
