David Andrew SmithSinger Guitarist from Fairfax, VA

Often dubbed "Cat Stevens meets Adam Levine," David is a pop/rock singer/songwriter/guitarist from the Baltimore-Washington metropolitan area who has shared the stage with/opened for an eclectic mix of acts both solo and with his full band, including Maroon 5, Toby Keith, Owl City, Journey, Eric Hutchinson and Graham Colton, to name a few. He has also been a featured act for the Washington Redskins, Washington Nationals, Washington Kastles and the Citi Open (formerly the Legg Mason Tennis Classic). He performs from a repertoire of between 200 to 500 songs, depending on whether he's playing with the full, 4-piece band or solo, which includes top 40 from the '60s to now, as well as original material in the pop/rock and singer/songwriter realms. After studying music composition and performance at Salisbury University until 2004, David migrated from the small-town atmosphere of his youth on the Eastern Shore of Maryland to the Baltimore-Washington metropolitan area, where he has since been playing music for a living. He now performs regularly along the mid-Atlantic region of the US, occasionally touring in other parts of the country as well. In the process, he has developed a strong fan base and attracted attention from many well-known names in the music industry and beyond, from Performing Songwriter magazine to Dean Dinning of Toad the Wet Sprocket to Ben Stein. With his addictive melodies, a soulful vocal style and an off-the-beaten-path kind of pop-sensibility, David is steadily becoming a well-known performer on the East Coast.
