David Newbould is an exciting singer/songwriter/performer, and he has many believers who can testify to the passion and earnestness he puts into his work. His music has appeared on 6 Network TV shows/DVD's to date (CBS' "Criminal Minds", WB's "Dawson’s Creek", Paramount's "Joan of Arcadia", Fox's "Party Of Five", CBS' "Threshold", and Lifetime's "Monarch Cove"), he has performed to acclaim at numerous ASCAP songwriting events, and can count among his fans various executives at Universal Music, Sony Canada, RCA Records, and North Star Media Publishing.

For many years he lived and worked in New York City, performing both solo in clubs and then with a band. He developed a loyal fan base all through relentless performances and word of mouth - no label publicity, no major press, no glitz. David is about what's real, and what's real is a song that will touch some aspect of a person's life and make an indelible mark. His songs make you yearn, make you visit other places, and make you feel that you're not the only one doing so.

In 2002, after seven years in New York, David relocated to Austin, TX. He has appeared on numerous radio and local TV shows, had two videos in rotation on Austin Music Network/ME Television, recorded his third EP, and first full length CD, formed the David Newbould Band, signed an exclusive publishing deal with North Star, and developed his most dedicated and thorough following to date. Performing regularly in "The Live Music Capitol of The World", David has carved out a niche as not only a melodic and sincere tunesmith, but also one who performs with great energy and will command a crowd.

At every show he converts new people who have never heard or seen him before. His mailing list has ballooned. He plays a brand of rock and roll that is not limited to such genres such as Americana, classic rock, or singer-songwriter restraint. It is a brand which celebrates all of rock music’s melodic past, and one which is still familiar to those who love rock and roll, and all the richness and depth it has to offer.

In February of 2007, David released "Big Red Sun", a 13 song CD featuring such guests as Jon Dee Graham, Cindy Cashdollar, Redd Volkaert, Warren Hood, Don Harvey, Molly Venter, and others. To date he has recorded 3 EPs, 2 compilations, and Big Red Sun, and sells them steadily at shows and out of the back of his truck. There is a consistent flow of high quality songs coming out of him, as well as performances - constant performances. David grew up in Toronto, Canada, but has made the US his target audience. His fan base is currently made up largely of groups of loyal supporters, but as he continues to release music and widen his audience, the larger and more universal his appeal will become.


"Big Red Sun" review - EvolutionOfMedia.com: Although Big Red Sun will be compared to albums by any number of people--from Ryan Adams to Pete Yorn to the Wallflowers--I think Newbould’s influences are closer to 70’s artists like the late Dan Fogelberg, Jackson Browne, James Taylor, and Kenny Loggins. Songs like "Something To Lose" and "Love in Your Heart" have the lullaby quality that Loggins used to excel at, while "Empty Arms" has the freewheeling feel of Browne at his happiest. And just to prove that he can hoedown with the best of them, Newbould kicks his heels on the rollicking "Nobody Loves Me Like You Do". But it’s the title song that’s the centerpiece of the album: a stark, dry-as-the-Mojave mediation on life that crystallizes everything that the album stands for, from the artwork on down. Newbould is another one of those guys who has managed to place his songs in various TV shows, in hopes of getting much-needed exposure. In a perfect world, he would not need to go to such crass extremes to get his music heard; it would be enough that songs as perfect as "Family Man" and the achingly beautiful "Keeping it In" could get lots of airplay on a good radio station. But it’s not the 70’s anymore, and one must do what one can to get heard. And no matter how he does it, David Newbould deserves to be heard and Big Red Sun deserves everyone’s undivided attention.

"Big Red Sun" review MilesOfMusic.com: It`s A Cracker!! 100% Guaranteed!! Big Red Sun was recorded while David Newbould was a itinerant resident of Austin. Newbould sings with an exhilaration, avoiding the overwrought, instead falling squarely into warmth and passionate. Combined with a strong ear for melody and a directness in his storytelling Newbould nails this collection of introspective folk and traditional country. Newbould recruited Cindy Cashdollar, Redd Volkaert, Jon Dee Graham and others to help him on his first full length after releasing a series of EPs. Big Red Sun has a glowing emotional center that makes it a perfect way to brighten a gloomy day. -- Jeff Weiss, Miles of Music
