Daytrotter Interview and Live Songs

German Interview and Live Songs From Bavarian Open Radio

Musik Express Backstage Session - Germany

My Old Kentucky Blog

“One of the best singer/songwriters I’ve ever heard.”
All Songs Considered/NPR Host - Bob Boilen

“One of the greatest living songwriters”
All Songs Considered/Producer - Robin Hilton

"DAVID DONDERO is this generation's Townes Van Zandt, a peripatetic tumbleweed casting across the country's highways and dirt roads searching for truth and love. His reedy tenor shuffles through clever verbal forays, over ragamuffin folk, brightened by Dondero's road-wizened stoicism. His latest, Simple Love, features his characteristic wit and unexpected sonic complexity thanks to a full backing band, which joins him on the road."

Houston Chronicle Feature

“An All-American troubadour. Simple Love full of road-weary Americana. Songs that document that love is anything but simple. Funny stories full of sarcasm, contempt at times and sentimentality. Lots of ups and down.” – My Old Kentucky Blog

“It's easy to like Simple Love... Dondero's detailed descriptions are still the best thing about him. He's able to evoke a complete experiential landscape: suicide bridges, dark, cool churches, muddy rivers.” 7.0 - pitchfork


“Wilmington, NC man David Dondero is not your average singer/songwriter. He has a magi-like gift for intertwining great storytelling with super catchy melodies that are not bo-ring.” - Usounds


new video directed and animated by Alexandra Valenti and Holly Bronko.

Looks like we're both going to weddings August 8th, my sister's getting married =). different wedding though, I'd be more psyched if it was that one.

Come back to NYC, I haven't gotten to see a show since 07 @ Slowdown.

Decided to upload "IngestMarijuana"
nothing special, just a song that was on the demos I hand out and wasn't on the myspace.

I guess I'm leaving out nohomo, can't say i liked it much.

If you wouldn't mind checking it out and giving it some plays?
