About
From the bars and clubs along Bleeker Street in the West Village of New York City, to self-booked tours and Greyhound bus passes; Gabe Mintz, from Seattle, WA, is a musician who truly speaks through his music.
"You're too smart," Gabe tells the world, "you think too much. Look at that city! Look at that leaf! It's alive and breathing. Its message is written in your DNA." He wraps it all up in a dreamy mist of guitars. Set the reverb on stun, the drums on soul, and lay in a course through the unconscious, and back to a reality where every color is just a little brighter. His work is the product of dingy basements and extensive travel, documenting the surreal and the treacherous.
The songs on this disk have been selected from a catalogue of hundreds of original works that span more than a decade, reflecting broad influences and points of view. A multi-instrumentalist and composer, his songs have been featured on the E! entertainment channel, Telemundo, and the DVD release "Weapons of Mass Deception." He has been an opening act in Seattle for such performers as Christopher Blue, and regularly opened with Cattail Road while living in the Washington, DC area.
A dear friend and fellow musician once said of Gabe, "I think he really uses songwriting as a tool to communicate, i.e. he almost needs to write songs. This is kind of a rare and precious thing in this day and age." Now Gabe has a few things to tell to the world, and we are spreading the word.

Just want to let visitors know that my new EP "In Safety" is now on available at www.gabrielmintz.com under the "music" tab. Each disk is personally made for the client, a very special release. Do have a look, I'll be posting new show dates over the next month. Rock!

Gabe are you the artist that sings the song on the Stare Magazine episode #6. It might be called "Leaving for Winter" or something like that.. If that is you, let me know how I can buy it. I got to have it. I have been looking for it for a couple months now. Please let me know or post it on your site.
thanks,
Justin

Jokes in the Van was the first song of yours i ever heard... your voice instantly gave me shivers all over my body! i said "Dave, who IS this? i've never heard anything like it!" and he told me about you.
since then, i've listened to that song (and all the others) hundreds of times, but i must confess that until yesterday i was never sure whether you were saying "tokes" or "jokes". actually, i sort of think maybe it's both ;-D
anyway... i would like to know the titles of all those other songs which Dave turned me on to; there are 20-some tracks on the disc, and track 6 is Jokes in the Van, if that gives any clues as to what i have. i would also like to have all of your newer songs, if and when that is possible.
ciao-ciao
