David has been writing and performing in the folk genre since his teens. 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?)

Having retired from the medical world, he is now playing out again, mainly in New England, with recent performances at the New England Folk Festival (NEFA) and a guest appearance at the Connecticut Sea Music Festival as well as a house concert or two and some smaller venues. 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.
