About David Mirabella of the Rationales

David Mirabella performs both solo as an acoustic based singer-songwriter or as the lead singer-guitarist for the band The Rationales

Things reviewers have said about Dave's recordings and performances:

...David Mirabella played understated, simple, yet very heartfelt songs at the Brew'd last night. A welcome surprise.

..."Mirabella's melodious melancholy is modeled on the masters of such things: Neil Young, John Lennon, and maybe even a little Nick Drake. Slow and misty, the nearly hour-long CD Breakheart Skyline is more than satisfying. "

... "Soaring sounds of Hope from the edge"

..."This catches the listener's attention. Love the dobro, and it's sparing use. Instantly takes me above the tree tops. Vocals remind me of early Neil Young, before the acid. It also has a nice Elliot Smith slant, with down trotten lyrical strokes"

..."Some raw stuff, some progressive stuff. I like that this seemlessly blends Smashing Pumpkins sort of 90s alternative rock and Johnny Cash sort of 60s country. It has a very unique and original sound. I also like that it is not overplayed. The arrangements really give it some air to breathe and lets the listenener attach to the vocal delivery and slide acoustic guitar without anything else getting in the way."
