Fiddlers
Green is delighted to welcome singer-songwriter David
LaMotte as our feature performer for the April 15 show. A typical evening of performance
with David includes everything from lyrically challenging, high-energy
percussive songs in strange alternate tunings to more traditional songs of
home, hope and inspiration. He weaves the evening together in a fabric of
vivid - often hilarious - stories, and throws in an occasional impressive
instrumental piece.
In the past fourteen years,
David has released eight
albums and performed over sixteen hundred shows in forty-five states and
ten countries, sharing stages along the way with artists like Arlo
Guthrie, Shawn Mullins, Buddy Miles, Gillian Welch, John Gorka, Jez Lowe
and David Wilcox. In addition
to performing throughout the
He was also featured along with Bruce Springsteen, Aimee Mann, Ray Manzarek, Grace Slick and Suzanne Vega on the Songs Inspired By Literature, Chapter 1, a project to benefit adult literacy campaigns. His children's recording, S.S. Bathtub, recently won its fourth national award, and work is in progress on a children's book based on the title track.
Aside from being a new husband, touring, promoting his current CD and leading occasional workshops, David's current passion is a new non-profit corporation he has created to aid Guatemalan schools, PEG (Proyecto para las Escuelas Guatemaltecas).
