NMLRERE 95
Singer, composer and multi-instrumentalist David Garland writes music and lyrics in an style that is his own but which is part of the American popular song tradition. With a wide variety of accompaniments, from accordions to computers to lamps and chairs, the sound of Garlands music reflects a contemporary interest in using the full gamut of musikal expression. His lyrics are concerned with some topics usually not assciated with songs (such as the security we derive from our furniture) and with fresh views of standard topics such as love and its pitfalls and pratfalls.
