David Andrew Smith

Band

After studying music composition and performance at Salisbury University, Smith migrated from the small-town atmosphere of his youth on the Eastern Shore of Maryland to the Baltimore-Washington metropolitan area, where he has since been playing music for a living. He now performs regularly along the mid-Atlantic region of the US, occasionally touring in other parts of the country as well. In the process, he has developed a strong fan base and attracted attention from many well-known names in the music industry and beyond, from Performing Songwriter magazine to Dean Dinning of Toad the Wet Sprocket to Ben Stein.

With his addictive melodies, a soulful vocal style and an off-the-beaten-path kind of pop-sensibility, Smith is steadily becoming a well-known performer on the East Coast. He has shared the stage with/opened for an eclectic mix of acts both solo and with his full band, including Maroon 5, Toby Keith, Owl City, Journey, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Bad Company, Night Ranger, My Chemical Romance, The Used, Thrice, Story of the Year, The Bouncing Souls, Eric Hutchinson, Graham Colton and Virginia Coalition. He has also been a featured act for the Washington Redskins, Washington Nationals and the Citi Open (formerly the Legg Mason Tennis Classic). Read more

    Dave was easy to work with right from the beginning! He was low maintenance and had everything he needed with him. He sounded fantastic and our guests loved him! We will definitely use him in the future and recommend him to friends! Very pleased!

    David was on time actually before time ( considering time to set up his eqiupment) we hired him for a grad party event . He was extremely accommodating / professional and easy to work with . He is pretty good with his job and seems to enjoy and is dedicated to his work . His voice is pretty good too and he was able to work on the list of songs we provided . I highly recommend him and he would be the person for me to call in future . His budget is also very reasonable . I am glad it worked out well for us

    He was a life saver. Was a last minute gig for him but he cane 150% through. Learned three new songs in hours for my planned surprise for my husband. He was just the best surprise not only for my husband but for me. Was a great pleasure to meet David and see him perform by himself and with my husband. Will be booking him again. A must hire for any event.
