Studio Session: Derek Dames Ohl

Boulder singer-songwriter Derek Dames Ohl stopped by the KGNU tent at Mapleton Hill Porch Fest to share a few new, unreleased songs and talk about his music and life on the road. Dames Ohl performs two new songs, including “Song Angel on My Single Wide” and “The CIA Tried to Take My Mind,” and explains the stories and inspiration behind each. He also talks about his long-running “never-ending tour,” his upcoming trip to England with Wyoming singer-songwriter Shaun Hess, and his plans to continue recording new material. To close out the session, Dames Ohl performs “Dreamin’,” a song dating back more than a decade to his former band, Flash Flood (Air Date 9/20/26).
