__________________________________________________
David Gordon calls his new one-man show "Singing My Heart Out." It's a thought-provoking and progressive commentary on the importance of compassion, courage, generosity, taking action, believing in the future, and hope - lots and lots of hope.
David and his guitar are unveiling this new program on October 7 in Carmel, California.
"Singing My Heart Out" is a diverse collection of 18 songs with a definite point of view about slavery, poverty, lying politicians, nuclear bombs, refugees, war, Mexican farm workers, building a wall, and how to stay sane in spite of it all. Actually the word "diverse" is an understatement for this eclectic playlist.
The music spans a century and a half and includes powerful songs by Stephen Foster, Woody Guthrie, Yip Harburg, Fred Hellerman, Pete Seeger, Si Kahn, David Wilcox, and John McCutcheon, plus contemporary writers like Tom Waits, John Flynn, Louise Mosrie, and Anaïs Mitchell.
These are songs to calm the mind and strengthen the heart. There will be a few tears, some heartfelt consolation, and good doses of welcome laughter. (No David Gordon event could happen without laughter.)
ABOUT DAVID GORDON
The Washington Post has called David Gordon "an irresistible performer." He's a life-long troubadour whose compelling voice, keen sense of drama, and wacky wit have charmed audiences worldwide for more than 40 years. David's international performing and recording career reaches from Bach to bluegrass, from grand opera to jazz, from Mozart to songs of the Oregon Trail.
David was a popular and central figure at the Carmel Bach Festival for 30 seasons as performer, lecturer, translator, and vocal coach. He is the author of "Carmel Impresarios," the biography of the Bach Festival's two founders. The book is also a definitive history of theater and music in early Carmel. In 2017 David released "The Little Bach Book," a richly illustrated look at Bach's everyday life in early-18th Century Leipzig.
