Artist Information

Biography

David’s anticipated new album is due out in June 2012 and will coincide with the commencement of his “Happy Gone Missing” Tour.
Whether you experience David Flower in an intimate session or with the full power of his band you will be moved by his intense love of music.
David plays acoustic guitar, harmonica, and sitar and has a stirring dynamic voice. His songs highlight the delicate fabric & dynamic dance of human relationships, raising buried topics and putting the washing out, encouraging social comment. He delivers his lyrics with enlightened energy and a cheeky charm, remaining unapologetically feisty; this along with his self-teach attitude on his instruments and techniques make for music that grabs the attention. Storytelling with a groove.
Most recently, David is proud to have his song “Ride my Wave” as the theme for the current Sunshine Coast worldwide tourism campaign.

A mixture of folk/rock/blues, they stole the night’s concert, accelerated the crowds elation with their energised performances and had everyone (including the festival organisers!) on their feet."
