Participating Performing Artists

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!
