David Ramirez to play at The Merry Widow

MOBILE, Ala. (WALA) - David Ramirez took a little time to get back to himself, and now he’s dead set on making music for himself—for the sake of the music, and nothing else.

“I love all the records I’ve made in the past,” says Ramirez. “But in making them, there was always the thought in the back of my mind of where and what it could get me. I made both creative and business decisions with a goal in mind; a goal that often never came. This time it was all about just the joy of making it, about having fun with it.”

All The Not So Gentle Reminders is a wide-ranging musical tour-de-force with Ramirez’s remarkable voice as the constant thread spinning stories and painting poetic imagery throughout. Whether through a faint whisper, a smooth croon or belting at the apex of a song, David Ramirez has a gift for conveying passion and emotion with each and every track. All The Not So Gentle Reminders is a reminder of the power music has to bring out many different emotions, often in the same song.

The Austin, TX-based singer-songwriter—whose career has seen six full-length studio albums, three EPs, countless collaborations, and an illustrious supergroup project in Glorietta—spent a season of rest away from his focus on writing songs. In the wake of the end of a long relationship, he wanted to prioritize processing his grief as a human, not as an artist bleeding onto the page.

David will perform at The Merry Widow in downtown Mobile on Friday, April 11. Doors open at 7:00 p.m. and the show begins at 8:00 p.m.
