David’s array of instruments include the full range of recorders, tenor-treble and baritone concertinas, bombardes, gemshorn, penny whistles(including the haunting low D whistle), and several “early wind” instruments. With the addition of piano, bouzouki mandolin, guitar, percussion, and ‘cello, this recording moves effortlessly from one genre to another, with intricate arrangements and obvious attention to detail.

CD $15.00Proudly introducing his daughter, Linnea, David presents some of his favorite songs accompanied by his favorite musicians. Stepping out from under his Maritime hat these songs cover a wide span of topics, from the Clydesdale horses to the coal mines of Scotland; from the struggling fishermen to a hopeful song of Spring; and a new instrumental arrangement of Spered Holvedel. And a few “chestnuts” including Stephen Foster’s Hard Times and a tribute to John Langstaff, Cecil Sharp’s collected version of John Barleycorn.

CD $15.00This is the latest addition to David’s growing collection of Maritime songs. What makes this project different from his last Maritime CD is there is a real mix of traditional and contemporary songs. There are also two commissioned works that David has written commemorating the 150th anniversary of the construction of two Boston built Clipper Ships. David is especially excited about the new collaboration with Texas-based ‘cellist, Max Dyer. And of course the continued partnership with Kent Allyn and David Surette. Special appearance by the CedarHouse Boys is a rather inviting addition. All of these songs tell a story about a time in history to which David feels a direct connection. As a Maritime educator performing in schools David is constantly looking for “gems” that bring the history to life. Here is just a sampling. I hope you enjoy it.

This song really stirred me! I have been rather numb emotionally since I lost both my mom and my fiancée during the pandemic. Also, there is a history of piracy in my family! Keep it up!! We need this right now in our country!!

This is by far my favorite version of this shanty. I’ve listened to it 30 times over the past few days on Tidal streaming. David’s strong vocals are carried aloft with a chorus of harmonies and echoes. I absolutely love it.
