Born and raised in rural central Illinois, David Singley is a singer-songwriter- guitarist living in Saint Paul, Minnesota, whose music is born of the street, the country, and the academy. An experienced veteran with decades of backing world-class artists and performers, he has recently joined the “Great Resignation” and set his sights on his own artistic pursuits. His music evokes the golden era of the singer-songwriter: the late ’60’s and early-to-mid ’70’s; with its chameleonic stylistic twists and turns, as well as its memorable melodies and insightful, poetic lyrics. His music expresses a point-of- view that is at once highly personal and triumphantly global. His voice evokes traces of many of his influences: James Taylor, Gordon Lightfoot, Jim Croce, Jackson Browne, Dan Fogelberg, and many others. His guitar playing is at once highly focused and passionate, impressive yet always absolutely appropriate to the song at hand.
His two singer-songwriter albums, 2021’s “The Long, Slow Fuse of Night”, and 2024’s “Fools & Mystics”, have received significant radio airplay, and praise from the music press. He has multiple music videos on his YouTube channel with over 100k views, including three over 200k and one over 300k views.
His credits include: Perry Como, Gene Pitney, Bobby Caldwell, Bob Brookmeyer, Tal Farlow, Dave Weckl and many others.
