David & The Circumstances

Singer-songwriter David & The Circumstances (David Groeneweg) writes songs about existential questions, light, darkness and the twilight in between. His lyrics explore the unclear boundary between “me” and “the circumstances”, the river and the sea, perfection and imperfection. Serene guitar- and piano sounds gently carry his poetic message.

David’s debut album, This Part of Me (2015), received praise from music press in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Italy. With fingerpicked acoustic and electric guitar, minimalistic piano, ethereal backing vocals, and subtle ebow and cello layers, David’s music offers a quiet, introspective sound world. Performing as a solo artist, David has played at venues including Amsterdam’s Melkweg, stages across New York City, the UK, and Italy, and appeared on Dutch national radio stations 3FM and Radio1.

David’s second album is set for release in 2026.
