”Here he was, standing alone on stage with his acoustic guitar, and already after the first few tunes, this expected to-be cosy Thursday night was turned into an intense music experience. No chit chats at the tables, but rather a café filled with jaw dropping guests, listening while Dennis’ voice unfolded it self with greatness in the smoke filled room.”

These were the words of journalist Jette-Julie Rosendal about Dennis Mejdal, when she experienced his first ever acoustic performance. And so now finally he is ready for the release of the long awaited debut album from Dennis Mejdal, Grow Little Acorn, Grow!

The story of Dennis Mejdal is the story of a man, whom the last six years has worked at Denmark’s leading music venue, VEGA, as head graphics. With the help of his visual work, he has helped sell shows for artists, big as small, national as international.

Americana with a touch of electronica
With the inspiration drawn from the musical mass that has been surrounding him through the years, Dennis Mejdal have also been forming his own musical expression. This expression has been moulded through the many live performances played over the last few years, highlighting the supporting gigs for names like Midlake, Grand Avenue and Claus Hempler, along with the monthly job of hosting and playing the acoustic club at VEGA - Klub Mini VEGA.

From, what started out as solely acoustic, the album has evolved into, what today can be labeled Americana with a touch of Electronica. This said the listener will still find, that the strong voice plays a significant part, and notice a clear touch of the European rock/pop sound, that he is a part of.

And so, on the 28th of January the last couple of year’s hard work culminates with the release of the debut album Grow Little Acorn, Grow!.
