David Harley

David Harley wears the title of a traditional songwriter with pride. His approach to songwriting could be called retro but to him and his fans, he is exploring the musical landscape of the great American songbook brought to life in modern times. His eclectic mix of genres takes the listener on a journey through the evolution of popular music. Growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area in the 1970s, he was exposed to world-class musical influences during “The Golden Age” of Folk, Rock, Pop, R&B, Blues, and American Roots music, which are evident in his diverse and extensive catalog of material. But, like other great musical alchemists, it is his ability to borrow and synthesize the stuff that made these musical genres classics into his own unique and original interpretations and compositions, which sets him apart. We invite you to share in the adventure of discovery of a strong “new voice" rooted firmly in the glory of our shared musical past and partake in the celebration of the sounds of our times, which is the music of David Harley.
