David Curtis

Dave has been playing guitar since the ripe young age of 12 when he first heard the Beatles sing, “She Loves You.” Two years later he was the rhythm guitarist for the "Blues Crusade", in the Allegheny foothills of southwestern New York. Over the years he has showcased his talents at such venues as Bud Friedman’s "Improv,” in Hollywood and the famous “Studio Café” by Balboa Pier in sunny Southern California. He currently dedicates the majority of his time to writing music. He keeps his guitar in tune by playing in the duo, Wood & Strings, with lead guitarist extraordinaire Jim Hintz, mainly at locally well-known coffeehouses like Java Roasters, in his hometown of Brighton, MI. His new CD is a compilation of heart-touching ballads that weave together the best of folk, and light rock and blues, to create an “in between” place, a place where music and poetry unite to reach deep inside and grab your soul. “Poor Boy's Love Affair” is a rebirth of all the passion and feeling that comes from experiencing life - good and bad, happy and sad. It truly tells the tale of a poor boy's soul, love and the reflections of a life being lived.
