Life of a "Long Player"

After a 25 year hiatus, long time rocker Dave Lebental returned to his musical roots and started to investigate the modern music landscape. He quickly realized he was a modern-day Rip Van Winkle who had awoken into a different musical world than the one he left. Digital recording, digital distribution, social media have all made it much easier to be an independent artist. 

He started writing new songs on his acoustic guitar and learning how to record them in his home studio. The biproduct of these self-produced recording sessions is Dave Lebental's debut solo LP entitled “The Long Player”. The LP is a collection of 11 Americana, Blues and Rock tracks.  Now 62 years old, Lebental says his songs and sound owe a debt to James Taylor, Ryan Adams, The Eagles, Tom Petty,  and The Beatles.
