   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..."

Hey Dave

Apparently it is actually 'donkey's ears' because they are long (but not compared to rabbits), and over time and the grape vine it got changed to 'donkey's years'.

So if you saw someone just yesterday you could say 'I haven't seen you in turtle's ears'...

See you kids next month, with bells on.

Katie :-)

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!!
