I have some great musicians on the CD as well: Mark DeGroft on Guitar, Chuck Yates on harmonica and mandolin, Jupiter Moon (unique sounds) on Key board, Tom Hartkop on Banjo, and wonderful vocal backups by Natalie Horton. A special thanks to Tom Hartkop for his tireless work as producer and engineer on this project.

Americana / POP / Roots Music

Recording Artist

POET, AND SONG WRITER


David Christian is one of America's best kept secrets and has (for the past thirty years) been hiding out with some of the counties most famous unknown folksingers, Song Writers and story tellers. With a touch of nostalgia for the late 60s, early 70s and 80s, David Christian's rhythmic guitar playing and gentle and tasteful finger picking style combined with pleasant (if somewhat gravely) vocal arrangements reminiscent of the old troubadours like Woody Guthrie, Cisco Houston and even an older and wiser Bob Dylan.  David often describes his music as a cross between "Neo-Traditional Country and "Americana" and Folk". (American Primitive). David also collects and performs the songs of Hank Williams, George Jones, Willy Nelson and Waylon Jennings, Levon Helm,  Merle Haggard, Buck Owens, Chris LeDoux and many other old time singer/song writers. David's original songs are often in the earthy, honest and straight forward style of some of his favorite singer/songwriters: John Prine, Blase Foley, Hates Carll, Tom Russell,  Joe Ely, Robert Earl Keen, Rambling Jack Elliott, U. Utah Phillips, Billy Joe Shaver, Buddy Miller, Guy Clark, Steve Earl,  and Townes Van Zadt.  His extensive repertoire of
over 800 songs including songs from the above mentioned songwriters and performers also includes original and traditional music plus a pinch of the  pop, rock and country of the Eagles,  Eric Claptom, Jimmy Buffett, Toby Keith, Kenny Chesney, George Strait, Garth Brooks, The Grateful Dead, Van Morrison and other modern and traditional word‑smiths and musicians. 
 

If you crave and love straight forward good original, as well as tastefully arranged familiar music, than you will be pleasantly surprised and happily rewarded spending an evening with song writer, poet and recording artist, David Christian.
