David Ferrard

"Bits of Woody Guthrie wedged in between Tom Paxton and Bob Dylan." EDINBURGH EVENING NEWS

David Ferrard is a 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. 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 last summer at Edinburgh's annual International Fringe Festival. His band The David Ferrard Trio won the prestigious Celtic Connections 2006 Danny Kyle award.

One Hell Of A Ride (2.9 Mb / 3:07)

I've heard that a good folk song should include a train or murder. This one has both - so I hope that makes it a really good one. This has been a favourite at gigs - it usually gets the audience singing along! I really like Steve Butler's arrangement. [DAVIDFERRARD.COM]

Hills Of Virginia (3.5 Mb / 3:51)

It's difficult not to feel outraged by what's happening in Iraq. The structure of this song was influenced by Eric Bogle's And the Band Played Waltzing Mathilda. Different war, same bloodshed. I can't imagine doing a set without it. [DAVIDFERRARD.COM]
