Ryan recommends a show

This coming Monday, May 15, come check out a special offering at murky coffee arlington: from Missoula, MT, David Boone. David is my friend from college and it is always a pleasure to hear his voice. Starting the evening will be local songstress, Molly Decker, followed by a couple of songs from yours truly. Festivities begin at 7 pm, with David taking the stage around 8 pm. It'll be upstairs with a $3 climbing the stairs fee.

Check out www.davidboone.net for samples, etc. I'll leave you with a fine quote:


As one of Missoula's most prolific and talented musicians, it's David's honesty, his transparency, that makes his work shine. In his latest, Hard Enough to Bend, it is more and more present in his voice as he sings about poverty, love, war and loss. He blends styles in Hard Enough to Bend showcasing his progression while maintaining his acoustic roots. Reminiscent of Ryan Adams on this album, he uses his signature lyrical prowess and adaptability to take a traditional folk-like feel and turn it into something modern and vibrant -- distancing himself from the run-of-the-mill coffee shop singer-songwriter.
David continues to amaze with his ability to stay open and raw while simultaneously challenging new sounds and styles -- song after song, album after album.
