   About David Ross Macdonald

American Songwriter Magazine
“[David Ross Macdonald] is one of those few songwriters like Nick Drake, Conor Oberst (Bright Eyes), and Josh Ritter that can captivate his listeners armed only with a voice and guitar.”

Acoustic Guitar Magazine
“David Ross MacDonald's vocals, lyrics, and intricate fingerstyle guitar playing bring to mind a collaboration between Nick Drake and a mid-1970s Bruce Cockburn... “

Penguin Eggs Magazine
"...deft guitar playing ... polished songwriting ... pristine, thoughtful folk rock..."

D to the R to the M!

I can't wait to be back in the heat and the dust with you my far-traveling friend... Kerrville is gonna change our lives, call for a complete re-write of our souls... everything we've experienced pre-Kerrville will seem as an abstract wreckage...

...my expectations are low. Seriously, I can't wait!!

Thanks for your kind words david. i was just playing thru your album the other day and thinking how lucky i was to be part of it. i've put in some hard hours on the bid wooden bassoon of late. would be good to have a play with you next time we're in the same place together.

Hi Dave,
How are ya?
Your music is sounding lovely. Noticed you're gigging in the bright lights of Maylands, my old home turf. Was just thinking about your drumming and if I could still take you up on the offer to record a bit next time you're passing through Northern NSW? It would be awesome.
Love and blessings
Jessie
