LIVE SOLO ACOUSTIC:
LIVE FULL BAND:
David Newbould is a lifer. Since kickstarting his career with 2007’s Big Red Sun, he’s made his mark as a heartland roots-rocker, Americana artist, and amplified folksinger, writing songs that chart the ups and downs of an adulthood spent onstage and on the road. He is the kind of songwriter people discover once—and follow for years. At his most solo and intimate, his reflection and weathered experience connects with crowds through a resilient and ragged beauty, one first unearthed in him as a 10 year old boy listening to Jim Croce in the family car with his dad. At his most full band raucous, his messages of persistence and unshakeable survival are driven forward by the grease, grit, and guitar-driven swagger of rock & roll, a passion that has driven him for decades through multiple markets and adopted hometowns.
Newbould isn’t used to sitting still. Born in Toronto, he relocated to New York City as a teenager and logged time in Austin’s fertile music scene before ultimately settling in Nashville. There, he found a community that was every bit as diverse as his own history. Albums like 2013’s Tennessee shone a light on his cross-continental travels and inner journey, while 2019’s Sin & Redemption found him fronting an A-list studio band whose members included drummer Brad Pemberton (Steve Earle, Ryan Adams), and rock legend and sometimes co-writer, Dan Baird (Georgia Satellites). 2021’s Power Up! led to a European booking deal with Rootstown Bookings. This helped cultivate a long simmering live relationship with the European crowds who had been listening to his music for years on Euro Americana radio. Back home, Power Up!, 2024’s Live In Germany, and 2025’s Average Fidelity Vol. 1 albums all received first round GRAMMY recognition.
With a catalog of critically-acclaimed releases, thousands of live performances, and TV placements in programs like Criminal Minds and Dawson’s Creek, David Newbould has carved his own spot in the roots-rock world.
