A big portion of his focus in lessons is to reach deep into the song and bring meaning to each note you sing while enjoying the learning process. David is currently playing music festivals and venues all over Kentucky with two bands, Driftwood Gypsy (multi genre featuring original compositions written by every member and an eclectic taste in their choices of cover), and The Baja Yetis ( dual genre group specializing in jazz standards and originals, and New Orleans influenced funk). He also travels regionally as a solo act playing weddings and festival events. Just recently David has ventured with Driftwood Gypsy outside of the Kentucky area as featured artists in North Carolina at the Asheville Music Hall, in West Virginia, Ohio, and Indiana.
