Music by David Kitzmiller

David Kitzmiller writes the kind of songs that don’t just play in the background—they stop you mid-motion and make you feel something raw. Known first as an author of the Dealing with the Toaster memoir and poetry series, Kitzmiller extends his writing into music with the same uncompromising honesty. Many of his songs are acoustic at the core, indie in spirit, and unafraid to sit with heartbreak, longing, and the absurdities of survival.

Whether stripped down to a single guitar and vocal or layered with subtle textures, his music feels confessional—intimate enough to sound like it’s being sung in your living room, yet powerful enough to echo in memory long after the last note fades.
