About Me

First and foremost, David considers himself a songwriter.
He has been playing guitar for over 20 years. For the last 15 years he has been silent, no new music, no true expression of his perspective. Recent events in his life has opened him up to experience a great deal of freedom in his writing. His songwriting is from the heart, he's been called a storyteller, and his thematic perspective throughout his songs weave an overall experience or expression.
His guitar style is very percussive, he has been described as having his own unique style that falls somewhere between Bo Diddley and Johnny Cash.
The songs on this page are all originals and here for you to experience some of his expression.
If you are a band and are interested in any of these songs, please feel free to contact us here through Myspace.
