Dave Richardson is an observer. With his warm, expressive voice and his acoustic guitar, he invites listeners to experience snippets of life through his songs: a fragment of overheard conversation, the recollection of a feeling, a snapshot of an event. Dave grew up listening to ‘60s pop and classic rock, and his love of a catchy melody can be easily heard in his music. His musical influences include the thoughtful reflection of modern singer/songwriters like Neko Case and Caitlin Canty along with song collectors and re-interpreters like Jean Ritchie and Martin Carthy. Dave’s songs reflect a unique point of view steeped in folk traditions and infused with an undeniably modern lyrical and musical sensibility.
