David Friedenberg
I'm a singer/songwriter, & it's my passion. My music crosses many genres, which keeps it from becoming repetitive and boring, but it's folk-jazz-blues-rock. In my recordings I play all of the instruments (with an occasional guest star) and sing all of the vocals (with an occasional guest star). I write to the more mature audience in terms of subject matter. I hope you LOVE it!!
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I occasionally play live around my home in Manchester, NH.
Your musical influences
Paul Simon, Beatles, James Taylor, Steve Goodman, Arlo Guthrie were the guys I grew up with. My songwriting starts with the lyrics usually, and the words suggest the tune and tone of the song. Songs tend not to be hard-edged, angry and loud; they are more melodic and...musical!
What equipment do you use?
acoustic & electric guitars, bass, keyboards, real drums (not loops or machines), mandolin, sax, flute, clarinet, harmonica, sitar
