Such an amazing, and yet vastly underated, singer, He should be way more well recognized than this, but I kind of like it that he isn't really famous, (at least, not outside of Canada that is)because that would take away from his charm a bit, I'm thinking. He also seems so refreshingly shy and humble, too, and I like that as well. He's one of my favourite singers and one of my Canadian musical heroes as well. He has a new album coming out, can't wait!
I love this video, including the fact that you can barely see his mouth moving and that he is playing with the pen continuously. It makes perfection look effortless.
I am jealous scubasleaze, I heard an excellent tune on a small radio station yesterday. I looked up the lyrics to the chorus, luckily I found the song and artist. This guy is a new favorite of mine!
I played this on guitar at a friends wedding, definitely one of my favs! I saw David and Craig play in Toronto, blew me away! The songs, the stories and atmosphere.... what an experience!
Is it just me or does his voice sound a bit like early Bruce Cockburn? That would be a compliment from me. Just introduced to David and really likehis stuff.
check out john gorka. He tells great stories. Also, if you have not heard stan rogers or his son Nate, please give them a listen. Cockburn is awesome.
This is my first exposure to our canadian folk artist... Sweet, my mother lives in London along with two sisters. I wonder if he is from there! Blessings... ENTICIA
@FreshWaterOtters did you ever figure out how to play this? Am cursing the same thing you are. I definately want to learn it as well, trying to find tabs is proving to be a challenge.
@Jors105 - No, not yet, but I reckon it's not too hard. The proper finger picking pattern I'll never get proper, but it starts on a C relative to the Capo.
Nice song writing. Really good!

I think he was in Scotland not long ago. Looks like he's in Australia for the next month, then it's back to Canada. Just keep checking his website.
