Air Traffic Controller w/ The ATC String Quartet
Serving in the US Navy as a real-life air traffic controller, singer/songwriter Dave Munro sent home 4-track demo tapes of songs written during his deployment. With his enlistment up, Munro returned to hometown Boston and discovered an impressive number of fans upon his arrival, prompting the genesis of the aptly-named roots rock band Air Traffic Controller. Accolades and award nominations soon followed; as did airplay on tastemaker radio stations such as WFNX and WERS, and coverage in publications such as Business Week, Boston Herald, Performer Magazine, Boston Globe and the Boston Phoenix. The One is the debut album release for both ATC and Sugarpop Records and was produced by power pop/rock maestro BLEU.
