If I call Kent Blazy and go over there (to his house), the dogs'll be inside -- he spoils 'em all the time -- and we'll write on the back porch and we'll drink limeade like we did in '89. That's just him.

D-Tox

“…These hands have hitched a ride & ended bar fights,
Been folded to pray & thrown dirt on a grave
They’re a strong, soft place for an angel to land.
So don’t be afraid to put yourself in these hands”


From the D-Tox (EMI) song “These Hands”


Born in the coal country of Hinman, Kentucky, D-Tox has lived his life.  He’s a no-bullshit kind of man.  You may not like what he has to say but at least you’ll know where he stands.  He’s a study of contrasts: Abrasive yet soft. Country-sensible but wide-eyed wild.  “Crack you up” funny but serious as a heart attack.  He’s all of that and a great singer and songwriter to boot.

He’s often asked, “What’s D-Tox about?”  “Buy me a beer and I’ll tell you about it” is what you’re likely to hear in a snappy comeback that leaves you amused, intrigued and motivated enough to buy that beer and talk a while.  “D-tox is actually just a play on my initials (DT) that a good friend of mine from back home laid upon me that has stuck through the years.  You might get the impression from the name that my music may be a little rowdy at times!  A little rowdy is a good thing but that ain’t all you’ll get out of me.”  With influences as wide-ranging as Garth Brooks, Bon Jovi, Travis Tritt, George Jones and Aerosmith, you can imagine what kind of living he’s done to gain the nickname D-Tox.

Since moving to Nashville in 1998 to pursue a dream of being a recording artist, D-Tox has made a name for himself within the Music Row songwriting community.  He knows who he is and having that focus and confidence in himself as a writer has afforded him the good grace to collaborate with some of Nashville’s greatest writers including Kent Blazy, John Wiggins, Jon Randall and Shane Minor to name a few.  Signed to a publishing deal with EMI Nashville, D-tox writes everyday to gather material which he hopes will someday land him a recording contract.

With up-beat rocking songs like “Raw, Ragged and Real”, “Southern Rock”, and “My America” and ballady mid-tempo’s like “Nothing To Go On”, “The Devil And The Cross” and “Where I Am”, D-Tox has a repertoire of songs that makes for an energetic and entertaining show.  He is booked by Steve Lassiter at APA and can be reached at 615-297-0100.
