David King Bio
David King is an original Dublin folk and blues singer and writer with an EP entitled “Dig my Own Hole” (2013) debut album "Ruirteach Blues" (2015) and an acclaimed follow up titled "Custodian" (2018). Over the years David has made a name for himself mixing slide guitar with modern styles and themes performing as a solo blues guitarist and with his band playing across Ireland beyond.
The Delta and Chicago blues style’s delivered with his unique blend of Irish Soul offer up original vocal and guitar styles and create a back beat for the stories in his songs. David performs solo and with the support of his road band known as the “Raging River Band".
"David King does what a lot of modern blues artists struggle to do. He makes complex chord progressions work in the blues format. These songs aren’t the same thing on a loop, there are breaks, bridges and different choruses." Ferdia Mooney, Pure M Mag 03.07.2015
