Singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist (guitars, ukulele, sax, piano, flute, harmonica, percussion, vocals...) Dick Aven has created a modern style of Americana that falls somewhere in-between "familiar" and "what the hell are you doing?!".

Rain, rain
Lars Lair says- "The Alpha and Omega of tears from the sky and their ambiance and moody effect are captured here by Mr. Aven so simply and naturally; just like falling raindrops." *** "this piece captures the gentle, explicable depression of childhood...the sight of rain, the infant's awareness of rude limitations...or else it is just a lovely, winsome afterthought of a song...i like it either way"-...staggerlee

DV- one on the third listen of the "The SImpleton" and I can't turn away man. No what a great production. Now I want you to go down to the beach, kick back and know your music kicks ass as you look at the Big Ocean. Your Fan;
