About Delmark

Known for witty lyrics and unhinged guitar-picking, Delmark Goldfarb is heard worldwide on folk, blues and country radio. Among his admirers are heavyweights such as Billy Joe Shaver and John Sebastian, and others found at the junction of “outlaw” meets “jug band.”

“The best new writer of good-time music,” according to former Lovin’ Spoonful frontman Sebastian, who has added accompaniment on occasion. On the more topical side, Del’s anti-war “Shoot The Angels Down” was ranked in the Top 100 at Neil Young’s “Songs of The Times” website, among the more than 3,000 posted songs.

His tune “Portable Man” is featured on the Appleseed Records’ “Give Us Your Poor” compilation, along with artists such as Pete Seeger and Keb’ Mo’ and he can be seen in the new jug band documentary, Chasin’ Gus’ Ghost.

A recent music review (Kingston Daily Freeman) cited Del’s all-original solo cd “a must-have for any purist.”
