DAVID
CHRISTIAN to perform at River ArtWalk
David
Christian "The Troubadour",
song writer, poet and recording artist, will perform
opening morning at the 4th annual Shady Cove River
ArtWalk, Saturday, August 9th, as he welcomes guests
at Gate #3, along the east river bank, inside the
Rogue River RV Park.
With
a touch of nostalgia for the late 60s and early
70s David Christian's rhythmic guitar playing Folk,
Country, Pop and his gentle and tasteful finger
picking style and vocal arrangements are reminiscent
of the old troubadours like Wood Guthrie, Cisco
Houston and even an older and wiser Bob Dylan. David's
original songs are often in the style of John Prine,
Rambling Jack Elliott, and others. His extensive
repertoire of more than 500 songs includes original
and traditional music as he keeps the tradition
alive. Visit: www.davidchristian.org
If
you crave and love good original music, as well
as tastefully arranged familiar music, then you
will be happily rewarded as you hear David Christian
- and, it's okay if you break out into a "sing-along"
-- it's FUN!
