About Me

A B O U T D A V E
In 2005, Golden was in New Orleans finishing his debut album, Wake to These Satellites, when disaster struck. The masters were destroyed, the digital backups were fried and the album was gone.
In lieu of Wake To These Satellites, Golden released How To Breathe , a collection of one-takes recorded live in the back of a van, in 2006. How To Breathe , a concept EP that chronicles one moment through the eyes of six different characters, debuted at Number 2 on CD Street's charts and knocked David Crosby out of their Number 1 acoustic position. The release was followed by sold out shows in NYC and Philadelphia, 5 performances during SXSW, a New Orleans concert with Rufus Wainwright and a national tour.
Dave showed tenacity and a love of live performance, touring tirelessly as a truly independent artist - no label support, no managers, no agents, no publicists. Even without this network, Dave earned critical acclaim and was able to support a 2-year tour. (Some press clips are below.)
Dave is back in the studio now and looking forward to his formal debut and returning to the road. It's a pleasure to have you here at the MySpace page but, really, nothing compares to the live experience.
