David Ferrard
David Ferrard is a 28 year-old Scottish American singer-songwriter who crosses the boundaries of folk and country music.
His voice has been compared to Tim Buckley and his writing to Woody Guthrie and John Prine. His songs tell stories about his and others' lives, and are marked by a strong commitment to social justice and peace.
An ability to get under the skin of different characters has won him songwriting competitions, and a unique performace style has made him one of the most popular local performers, selling out shows at Edinburgh's 2006 International Festival Fringe.
He won the prestigious Celtic Connections 2006 Danny Kyle Award which has led to festival appearances all over the UK. As well as concert gigs David often takes his music to campaign groups and political rallies, opening for the likes of Tony Benn and Bill Bailey, and was recently the singer in residence on Scotland For Peace's anti-Trident Long Walk For Peace in September 2006.
This year has seen David touring all around Britain,and across the pond to the USA.
