Notes
'D.C. BLOOM'S SONGS HAVE AN INTELLIGENT CUTTING EDGE, FROM OUTRAGEOUSLY CLEVER TO POIGNANTLY THOUGHT PROVOKING. HE'S A GREAT ENTERTAINER AND A RECOMMENDED LISTEN.' ... Lloyd Maines 'BEING A TERRITORIAL, CLOSE-MINDED SNOB ABOUT SUCH THINGS, I'M USUALLY HESITANT TO EMBRACE NON-NATIVES TRYING TO SQUEEZE THEIR WAY INTO THE TEXAS SINGER/SONGWRITER SCENE. BUT D.C. BLOOM CHARMED HIS WAY PAST MY GUARD WITH A WINSOME LITTLE DITTY ABOUT MY FAVORITE SAN ANTONIO SPUR ('Manu Ginobil'), AND AFTER CLOSER INSPECTION OF THIS OTHER STUFF, I'M INCLINED TO LET HIM STAY. AS SOON AS HE WRITES A SONG ABOUT TONY ROMO, I'LL BE FIRST TO NICKNAME HIM 'TEX' ... Richard Skanse, Editor, Texas Music magazine. 'D.C. BLOOM IS A GREAT SINGER/SONGWRITER AND A FANTASTIC RADIO GUEST. WE HAD A BLAST WHEN WE HAD HIM ON OUR SHOW AND PLAYED HIS MANU GINOBILI SONG. D.C. IS TRULY A UNIQUE TEXAS TALENT.' ... Chris Duel, ESPN Radio 1250 The Zone, San Antonio, TX While D.C. Bloom doesn't exactly relish the label, he understands why one might call him a "late bloomer" on the Texas music scene. Yes, D.C. will admit, it took him a little over four decades to even get to the Lone Star State, despite the fact that he has occasionally cited the ghost town of Nix, Texas as his birthplace. But no, D.C.'s really an Ohio native, who spent years inside the D.C. Beltway and a stint in the chilly climes of New England before finally putting his boots on the ground in Texas. And even then, it was another two or three years before he cranked out his solo debut, Simpler Times A-Wastin'. So D.C. Bloom as the quintessential late bloomer is more than a little legit. D.C.'s journey from the Black Swamp land of northwest Ohio to the Texas Hill Country is as circuitous as his musical evolution. He left the Buckeye State in his rear-view mirror in the late '70s to travel to the nation's capital for a job with the FBI, where he began as a humble data entry clerk and ended up writing speeches for the Director. Bloom next took his growing family to Boston, heeding the siren call of the private sector's bigger paydays and earning a Master's degree in Speech Communication from the esteemed Emerson College. A return trip to D.C. four years later put him back in the business of putting words in the mouths of policymakers and movers and shakers in banking and housing finance. It wasn't until the late '90s, when - on a whim and the suggestion of a co-worker who detected a lack of true passion in Bloom's false calling - that he signed up for a songwriting workshop at the Kerrville Folk Festival and began to string words and chords together in a format more to his liking than the day job 30-minute PowerPoint presentations that paid the mortgage. Bloom next took his growing binder of original songs to Geoff Pemble, who played in the praise band at the church D.C. attended in Vienna, Virginia. Pemble invited D.C. to join the God's house band, which he did somewhat reluctantly, because contemporary Christian music didn't necessarily ring his chimes. But after the weekly rehearsals in the church sanctuary, Bloom and Pemble stayed on to work on D.C.'s secular songs, some of which probably never should have been sung anywhere near an altar. In any event, the two soon formed an Americana band called The Dog Waggers and self-produced a CD called "Chasin' Tales," which the good Lutherans of Northern Virginia scarfed up like fresh dog treats. And some of them even figured out that the title was more about pursuing posteriors than posterity. As his alphabetized binder continued to expand, Bloom dreamed of landing a cushy corporate gig that would finance his move to Texas and put him within easy driving distance of the sacred grounds of Kerrville. Lightning finally struck in early 2004, and the headhunted D.C. would bid adieu to the Dog Waggers and travel south by southwest to San Antonio with his beat-up Tacoma guitar and a new dream - to get out there and perform on his own ... and finally put out a CD al
