David Ramirez back in Europe in January/February 2027
Mon 18 May 2026Acclaimed Austin-based singer-songwriter David Ramirez is entering a bold new chapter with his latest All the Not So Gentle Reminders, a lush and deeply reflective album that finds the veteran artist reconnecting with music purely for the joy of creating. After stepping away from songwriting in the aftermath of a long relationship, Ramirez returned with a renewed sense of clarity, crafting a twelve-song collection that embraces dreamlike arrangements, sweeping instrumentation, and emotional honesty. “This time it was all about just the joy of making it, about having fun with it,” Ramirez says of the record, which he describes as his most ambitious and liberating work to date.
Written during a secluded retreat in Waverly, Alabama, and recorded at Spectra Studios outside Austin, the album explores memory, heartbreak, hope, and the healing power of music itself. Tracks like “Maybe It Was All a Dream,” “Waiting On The Dust To Settle,” and “The Music Man” blend ethereal textures with theatrical flourishes, showcasing Ramirez’s unmistakable voice and evolving sonic vision. The project also features collaborations with a close-knit group of Texas musicians and longtime touring companions, helping shape a record that feels both expansive and deeply personal.
With All the Not So Gentle Reminders, Ramirez fully embraces the artist he has always been — one no longer chasing industry expectations, but leaning wholeheartedly into creativity and connection. Alongside the album’s continued momentum, fans can also look forward to a newly announced European tour scheduled for early 2027, bringing Ramirez’s powerful live performances and richly textured new songs to audiences across the continent.
