Hi, I'm Denver. I'm a 27 year old hometaping fanatic. My influences include the Mountain Goats, The Ekphrastics, and Charlie McAlister. I'm a sucker for a song with violins in it, and I used to write about competitive Counter-Strike. Nowadays, I write a lot of poems, most of which I try to turn into songs. I love cats; Tiger, my late cat, was deeply influential on me and helped me see my way through an adolescence that I didn't think I'd make it through. Currently, I have two other cats--Delilah and Apollo. They're some of the sweetest creatures I've ever met in my life, and I feel very lucky to have them around every day. My partner and I also recently adopted a third cat together, whose name is Enoch. You can find pictures of Enoch over on my Bluesky.

At this point, I'm trying to piece together a few solo projects, which are described in more detail on the home page. These include an album and two EPs, but will probably expand as time goes on.
Five years ago, on August 31st, 2019, my cat Tiger passed away. I wrote and recorded the song below to tell him about the things he's missed in the last five years. I have so much to tell him.
