Artist Description
“David Garland…has an uncanny knack for framing his keen observances of the mundane into highly personable art-pop songs. He coaxes his tales into devilishly catchy melodies, wraps them in beguiling orchestrations and delivers them with his warm, inviting baritone.”-Steve Smith, Time Out New York
“Garland is a superb, crazily imaginative songwriter.”
-Kyle Gann, Village Voice
“David Garland, the amiable host of WNYC-FM’s invaluable Spinning On Air, has an uncanny knack for framing his keen observances of the mundane into highly personable art-pop songs. He coaxes his tales into devilishly catchy melodies, wraps them in beguiling orchestrations and delivers them with his warm, inviting baritone.”
-Steve Smith, Time Out New York
David Garland’s first album, “Control Songs,” was released in 1987. Since then he’s continued to create songs that display his unique vision of life and the possibilities of the song form. His recordings and performances have included musical innovators such as Meredith Monk, John Zorn, Sufjan Stevens, and Christian Marclay, and, on Garland’s new album, “Conversations with the Cinnamon Skeleton,” Vashti Bunyan and Sean Lennon. At Joe’s Pub, Garland will perform songs from the new album.
