Artists:David Morreale

Writing songs is honest work, like digging ditches, or laying bricks. It's just not as hard, Fans have described David as the James Dean of the folk scene and while his music is too broadly based to encompass only one style or genre, a beautifully-played acoustic guitar and soaring baritone are at the center of his sound.

When David hits the microphone, the intimacy and personal connection that he establishes with the audience is as apparent as his sense of humour and love for the stories he tells.

David left home at 16 and hit the road for ten years of hitchhiking and busking on European streets and in the London Underground. Homelessness, hard luck and constant movement were ever-present for David. Through this, his songs have a worldview that is uplifting, inspiring, hard-bitten and hard earned.

He traveled from his home in England, through France, Belgium, Holland, Germany, Italy, Yugoslavia, Greece, (ah, Greece!) Holland and Austria. He made a living as a bartender, construction (and destruction) worker, waiter, chef, housepainter, guitar teacher, musician, writer, artist, cabinet-maker, record store clerk, street mime, and lumberjack.
