Generally speaking I am a soloist but on my cd "Livin Out My Dream" I was fortunate to have Rebecca Zapan (violin), Jamie DeFrates (back up vocals), Jack Milam (harmonica), Ernie Evans (mandolin), Shondra Diggit (backup vocals), Al Caesar (conga drums), Barry Dunaway (fretless bass) and Jeff Tippin (drums)
Influences
Jim Croce, Pierce Pettis, James Taylor, John Prine, Tracey Chapman, Tuck and Patti, Eva Cassidy, Paul Simon, Cat Stevens, John Denver, Ray Charles, Johnny Mercer, Nat King Cole
Growing up surrounded by relatives playing guitar, banjo, harmonica and singing blues, country, gospel and folk music, it's little wonder that David’s musical style is “all over the road.” When he was 16, he heard Jim Croce on TV. Before he had finished his first song, David knew this was the type of music he wanted to play and started to work on his goal of playing for live audiences. From fronting a top-40 band, to a series of duos, he found a way to live out his dream as he pursued several life options.
David is a Florida native and currently lives in Jacksonville with his wife Pamela, along with several cats and a Jack Russell – Dachshund mix he calls Molly. Playing, singing and writing are happily not only a constant passion; it is also his full time occupation.
