Hailing from the land of oysters and cranberry bogs to the south (the ocean town of Ilwaco, Wash.), Dennis appeared at 1998's KNW-YR-OWN showcase in Olympia with a guitar and a long brown coat. Over the following few months he recorded "Is It Love?" at Dub Narcotic Studio with Phil Elvrum. This album was so good, KNW-YR-OWN couldn't keep it in print. Now it's only available as a Japanese import.

Dennis went on to record a full length CD and several singles and now has a CD scheduled for release on K Records. You should check out the only can be described as epic collaboration with Phil Elvrum, "Silly Girl", that appears on KNW-YR-OWN's "Remote Wing" compilation.

His songs are terminally catchy. For instance, if you hear Dennis Driscoll before breakfast the rest of your day is shot. You'll be saying "Giiiiirrrrrlllll" to yourself all day. Not only are they terribly contagious, but the questions posed and scenes created are innocently eerie and send the listener back to the lower bunk for dreams of women in "aeroplanes" and secret passageways. Billy goats running away, pirate ships, swamp monsters, antiquities, apple crisp, Cranberry Road, radio station on the hill, ghosts, mammals, Buddy Holly...
