Dave Godowsky

In 2013, Godowsky co-wrote "The English and Western Stallion," and "(For A While) I Couldn't Play My Guitar Like A Man" with Gene Ween for his first post-Ween album, FREEMAN (2014).[2] Godowsky's song "So Long, Theresa" was covered by Marissa Nadler on her 2010 covers record.[3]

Godowsky's 2016 record Pregret features guest vocalists Adam Duritz (Counting Crows)[4] and Lianne La Havas.[5] He has performed on stage with Justin Vernon,[6] Counting Crows, Delta Spirit, Hamilton Leithauser, Martha Wainwright, Gene Ween, Dave Dondero, Elvis Perkins, Ben Kweller, Aoife O'Donovan, Sarah Siskind & Al Kooper. Godowsky was a member of Guns N' Roses cover band "Mr Brownstone," that performed at Bonnaroo in 2003 and on the Late Show with David Letterman in 2008. In a 2015 Gothamist article, he described the Letterman performance as "the worst musical performance in the history of the show."[7]

From 2007-2013, Godowsky exclusively worked with fine tipped pens, creating fictitious landscapes. He created artwork for Volcano Choir's 2009 record Unmap,[8] whose title was inspired by Godowsky's early work. Since 2013, he has primarily worked with chalk, charcoal, and graphite on paper.

As a manager, Godowsky's client history includes Cass McCombs, Okkervil River, Field Report, Against Me!, Ben Kweller, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Gene Ween, Martha Wainwright, Speedy Ortiz and producers Chris Shaw and Paul Q. Kolderie.[9] As A&R, Godowsky is credited with discovering Delta Spirit,[10] Nathaniel Rateliff,[11] and Field Report[12] as well as signing deals with veteran musical artists including Mike Gordon (Phish), Sondre Lerche, Son Volt, Ween,[13] Heartless Bastards, John Grant, Pure Bathing Culture, and The Dismemberment Plan, and producing compilations for John Fahey and Loudon Wainwright III.[14]
