Davey O and his new project “Testing For Rust” are making waves in the music arena, 17 days after official release to radio by Trespass Music. Davey O’s new album is currently one of the Top Sellers on CD Baby, just made its debut on the Roots Music Report (RMR) for the state of NY, and beginning to receive reviews.

The Buffalo News News Pop Music Critic Jeff Miers hails, “On “Testing For Rust,” Davey O. crafts intimate, folk-and country-based slices of a life examined. With a journalist’s eye for detail and poet’s ear for the well-turned observation, O. finds the universal in the particular, turning day-to-day minutiae into dusty paeans to the indomitability of the human spirit.”

“Who?: Rust-belt troubadour, observer of life’s trials, travails and triumphs, and crafter of songs that, according to the man himself, strive to “contain at least a kernel of the truth.”

What?: On “Testing For Rust,” Davey O. crafts intimate, folk-and country-based slices of a life examined. With a journalist’s eye for detail and poet’s ear for the well-turned observation, O. finds the universal in the particular, turning day-to-day minutiae into dusty paeans to the indomitability of the human spirit.

Why?: Buffalonians should find familiar signposts in the stirring folk-blues “No Money Down.” The touchingly titled “The Absence of Madaline” will resonate with anyone who’s endured a broken heart. Which means pretty much everyone everywhere.

What’s next?: Davey O. performs during the Elmwood Avenue Festival of the Arts on Aug. 25 and 26.
