Denver – Melodious singer/songwriter Dave Potts grew up in the Rocky Mountain region, spending several years living out of his dusty red pickup truck and honing his skills in the local coffee shop circuits, before finding his home in Auburn, Ala., in 1996. Since then, he has developed a style of reflecting the endearing life of small-town life in the South that has won him many accolades from fans and critics alike.

"With lyrics so pure and human, so natural and honest, $12.99 by Dave Potts will have you hanging onto every last word, waiting for the completion of the thought, like a moving, poetry puzzle that lives and breathes on its own...unhindered, inspired musicality embodied within music that feels like it was always yearning to be written." — CDBaby.com, editor's pick review of $12.99.
