Praised by Country, Folk, and Americana fans alike for his songwriting, David’s powerful voice, sure handed guitar work, and easy comfort onstage shine on his new CD, So This Guy Walks Into A Bar.   The Songwriters' Association of Washington chose the opening track, "I'm A Country Song But I Feel Like The Blues", as a finalist in the 2011 Mid Atlantic Song Contest.   Michael Jaworek of the Birchmere says----"Few artists can grab a moment's essence and put the listener 'right there' like David can.  A combination of honey's sweetness and salt's tang, his work is right up there with some of the best writers we have in Nashville, and beyond."   Mark Mangold of Rams Head Promotions says----”David is the real deal… a singer/songwriter with a great sense of detail and the voice to sell it.   Todd Walker, host of Sunday Songwriter Songfest says----"I love it when David comes to town. Not only is he a good guy, but he's the ultimate live performer, mixing humor and great songs together for an enjoyable time.  His songs are an upbeat mix of country and folk/rock with a little bit of jazz thrown in for good measure His lyrics are both heartfelt and catchy.  Did I mention he plays the guitar really well?"
