Details:
This is the very first disk released by David, who went on to become the landslide top vote-getter at the Falcon Ridge (NY) Folk Festivalâs âMost-Wantedâ competition and a NAIRD âIndieâ nominee (singer-songwriter album of the year for âDigging Through My Closetâ, the follow-up to this recording). David strikes many chords, hearts, and minds with his unique songs, offbeat observations, moving stories, and powerful singing and subject matter. Since emerging from another nationwide field of several hundred songwriters to open the Kerrville (TX) Folk Festival as itâs New Folk Winner, the Chicago native (and two-time national anthem singer for the NBAâs Michael Jordan-era Bulls) has garnered accolades for his performances, workshops, writing, and recordings. Featured on many of Christine Lavinâs Rounder compilations, the former artist-in-residence at New Yorkâs Omega Institute has also been a songwriting judge at Kerrville, Napa Valley (CA), Tumbleweed (WA), and the South Florida Folk Festival. In addition to singing âEarthâ at the 40th Anniversary of the United Nations, Davidâs âRising in Loveâ was performed at the 100th Anniversary of Carnegie Hall in 1991, and âManuel Garciaâ and âNine Gold Medalsâ both appear in the international best-selling Chicken Soup for the Soul series by Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen. Noel Paul Stookey (of Peter, Paul & Mary) performs Davidâs âSpacesuitsâ on PPM tours and produced âIf You Canât Flyâ for his 2002 childrenâs album âWorld Around Songâ and the BOSE Corporation includes âTaller Than My Hairâ and âFive Blind Menâ on their âbest of new folkâ compilations. Davidâs recorded 8 CDs on the Wind River label (with a 9th and 10th in Germany on Stockfisch Records) and has been living on Cape Cod since 2000 after 8 years in Seattle. www.davidrothmusic.com
