Album Review:

"His ability to tell a story and to serve up sincere, introspective songs which drip with heartfelt authenticity, expertly accompanying himself on guitar is completely spellbinding." —Eric Thom, Americana Highways

CUSTOM SONGS

If you decide to have David write a Custom Song for you or for someone in your life, he'll talk with you on the phone and then spend time honing the words and music into something truly unique.

It could be a song that takes you back to a certain moment in time that is yours, or it could be a gift for a loved one that will have them wondering how David could possibly know so much about your personal relationship.
