Anyone know the whereabouts of this player- Dennis Love?

Post by Derek Blalock »

I saw this band, Futurebirds, play in late 2015 in front of a small crowd of about 30 people in Alabama. Went home and checked them out and heard this song called "Painted Tears." I have always loved the pedal steel, but the steel break in this song is what made me have to get one and start playing.

It appears he hasn't been in the band for a few years now, but I was wondering if anyone knows if he's involved with any current projects. He is a young guy, couldn't have been much older than 30 when I saw them if that, and the band was never huge or anything, but the playing on this song influenced me a lot. Would love to know if he is still playing and there is new music to hear.

I like it. It has the danger of becoming a brain worm, staying in my head all day! :lol:

Looks like he plays a Rains.
Many play better than I do. Nobody has more fun.

Boy, that's good stuff. I was unaware it even existed anymore, besides on old records. Thanks for posting.

Similar story here. I saw him play with the band in 2013 or 2014 in Philadelphia. That was my first time seeing a pedal steel in person. Hope he is doing well!
