David Rynhart

Bio:

I am a songwriter and musician. I play the guitar, piano and Irish flute. I live in an architectural antique warehouse in Denver, CO. I have toured the U.S. and Europe and have been featured in the Prague Fringe Festival with the poetry/music group 'The Voice and The Verse'. In April 2010 I self-released two albums- 'By The Hollow Tree' and 'A Passing Comet'. In December 2011 I started a band called Chimney Choir with Kevin Larkin (Pineross) and Kris Drickey. We released an EP- (feather) in May. Here's a Westword review....

"Just from looking at the liner notes of David Rynhart's By the Hollow Tree, which quote Henry Miller, Paul Gaugin and Vincent Van Gogh, it's evident the guy has some depth. But Rynhart's not just name-dropping. In fact, "A Puddle on the Ground," one of the album's many high points, with its piano-propelled, swift-waltz feel, is taken from a musical that the singer-songwriter is writing about the last nine weeks of Van Gogh's life. Musically on Tree, Rynhart draws from a vast and diverse pool of influences, including hints of classical and Eastern European as well as blues and folk. While at times dark and melancholic and at others filled with hope, Rynhart's first official studio release shows off his incredibly sharp songwriting and storytelling skills." -Jon Solomon, Denver Westword

"David Rynhart must be one of Denver’s better best-kept secrets, which is odd considering how great an artist he is, because I was not acquainted with his work until being handed this CD, and I’m quite grateful for the introduction. As a Folk artist, Rynhart brings into focus new territory but, if pressed, could be described as channeling equally a bit of Ben Folds and later Beatles’ sounds. (His list of influences on MySpace includes Paul Simon and one of my personal favorites, Sigur Ros.) Rynhart plays the guitar, piano and flute very well and orchestrates compelling songs, but where he really flattens competition is with his lyrical narrative. Just wow. He’s definitely as fine a poet as the Metro area can muster."

“...the arrival of probably one of the best songs I’ve ever heard recorded by a local artist, the live retooling of Rynhart’s “Bright White Lightning.” It is an absolute nuke of a song, with the ability to bash out any numbers of similar style on the national level.This song needs to be sung on the way to work, handed out on street corners, and end up on and episode of that bastion of American music - Grey’s Anatomy. It’s something that Rynhart needs to capitalize on immediately and something that you must obtain now.”
