Vancouver, Oct. 29th, 2009.. "With his ultra-smooth voice and compelling emotion, Blair's take on breezy 1970's California pop-rock is sure to leave first-time listeners more than a little wowed." - Jennifer Charlesworth, Georgia Straight .... Calgary, June 15th, 2009.. "Standing with acoustic guitar in hand, David performed a 30 minute set, consisting of tracks from Things Left Unsaid, and his first release, Hard To Control. Instantly I was making comparisons to Jason Mraz, and John Mayer, with the boyish charm and charisma of Maroon 5 front man, Adam Levine. [...] I sat there just mesmerized, as his passion and enjoyment for playing music came through with every note, and word he sang, with a voice so smooth and pure with effortless range." -- Shannon Ambrose, The Portal Magazine .. Full interview .. .... ..About me:...... I always had crushes on girls - never went through the stage of not liking girls - they were always cool to me and I always wanted their attention - so its no wonder I got involved in music at a young age writing about love and all that gushy stuff! .... During my rock band stage - I was always freaked out about being on stage, but opportunities continued to present themselves to me and my band -opening for 'Nickelback', and bands that would eventually become 'Theory of a Deadman' and 'Default'. I tried to quit music - I really did - but somehow an opportunity or someone would inspire me to get back to writing - which would inevitably make me want to show someone the songs - ok show a lot of people -which brought me back to wanting to be an artist! .... After much procrastination (I'm really good at that) I finally released my first album in the summer of '07 - self-produced, self-engineered, self-written and just barely avoiding self-inflicted wounds - I had some of the best times of my life touring southern California for 3 months and then touring the east coast of the US a couple months later ending up in NYC! The people I met will affect me forever! .... So here I am now - presenting to you my second album - 'Things Left Unsaid' - I put all my blood, sweat and tears into it - its 12 pictures or 'snippets' of a time of my life that I won't forget - some reflections, some internal battles that I've come to accept, and words that I think are left unsaid too often when it comes to the people that count the most to us! I hope you enjoy the songs that I've put here for your listening enjoyment! Please comment me and let me know what you think - its because of you that I can survive in this world! :) .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .... .. .. .. .. .. .... .. .. .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .. .... .. .. ..
