Performances
As a solo artist, David plays a mixture of folk, jazz, rock originals and covers. Often he will start the night with chord melodies of jazz standards, and then as the wine flows, turn to covers and uptempo tunes to engage dancers and entertain patrons.
Sideman
David has done thousands of gigs in his life and performed with such artists as Dee Dee Butters, Rebecca Noelle, Craig Cardiff, The Synics, The Rebel Wheel, The PepTides and many more.
Originals and Covers
Having a huge body of recorded work behind him, David has much original music he can perform, but also has a huge repertoire of covers and standards which he can draw upon as the mood hits.
