Lovely Houses released his album Dragon Feet with a short tour. I was lucky enough to share a show with him when he returned to Indianapolis and I can't tell you how impressed I was. He's got an amazing vocal range, uses dynamics like you wouldn't believe and has some lyrics that you'll chew on long after the show. I hear a bit of the Counting Crows in his music and think that's a very good thing.

Basic Story: Indianapolis native David Campbell releases his debut record 'Dragon Feet' under the moniker Lovely Houses.
Sample: "If we don't die trying to love no one else will/help us do what you will."
Verdict: Though Lovely Houses has been playing shows around Indianapolis for some time now, 'Dragon Feet' is its first official release. The record starts off with 'Return to Sender', an immediately likable and catchy song whose light, jangly piano bits (played by Campbell's father) perfectly complement Campbell's choice of acoustic guitar. 'Dragon Feet' is a record full of tunes that are surprisingly wise in content, but are fun, colorful, and beg to be whistled along to.
