David Coller returns to Best Video Film & Cultural Center on Sat., Dec. 2, for a night of original music with Diane Chodkowski on vocal harmonies. The show starts at 7 PM and the cover is $10.

David has been writing and performing in the folk genre since his teens, which, he will tell you, means a VERY long time ago. He earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in music from the University of Southern California before moving on to the east coast and a career in the medical world but continued to play in bands, duos and as a solo performer in southern California and after that, Connecticut, until being waylaid by a wooden boat (if you’ve ever owned one you understand) and then, on the cusp of a re-emergence, by COVID purgatory (we’ve all been there, haven’t we?)

He is now playing out again, mainly in New England, but with the odd foray to the West Coast. He brings with him a variety of new songs: straight-up folk, jazzy tunes with the feel of standards, a bit of bluegrass, some sea-songs and a cowboy tune or two, performed on the guitar, banjo, and the odd bit of button accordion. He now resides in the last rural smidgeon of Hamden, Connecticut.
