AMERICANA UK SEPT 2, 2009 REVIEW OF "THE LONG WAY HOME" LIVE CD/DVD, released internationally through iTunes Sept 8, 2009:

Americana with a keen rock edge possessing lots of guitar and other finely spun textures see Newbould and Friends underline just how a good live band can sound

Now this is what I call a project. For not only do we have a live CD but also a DVD recording of the show as Newbould celebrates seven years in Austin with such esteemed friends as Redd Volkaert, Cindy Cashdollar, Danny Levin, Steve Zirkel, Will Taylor and Wendy Colonna who join band regulars Dave Madden, Jeff Botta, Darwin Smith, Naj Conklin and Darwin Smith and Megan Melara.

Newbould’s fond farewell to Texas is as a star-spangled affair as those on stage reach double figures, and what better way for the former New York resident, reluctantly relocating to Nashville to further his career as a touring artist, to end a treasured relationship. With such fine songs as ‘Something To Lose’, an image-strewn ‘See You On The Other Side’ and a song that appears for the first time in either form the stripped down ‘Come What May’. Plus he has a heap more choice tracks to add to them.

Newbould is a good rather than spectacular vocalist who knows how to get the best of those around him and for them (and there sure is plenty) to help make sound that bit better. The rattling ‘Nobody Love Me Like You Do’ featuring the dazzling Dobro of Cashdollar, electric lead guitar of Volkaert and remainder of the band all get to show off their great prowess.

‘It Can Always Be Worse’ (another previously unreleased cut) containing haunting harmony vocals coupled with eerie fiddle, piano, lead guitar and old-timey banjo early in the mix breaths a splendid world-weariness. The hypnotic nature of the song and fabulous interplay of the musicians and vocalists is something to behold. Newbould with pleading vocals likewise spins the travel ode in splendid fashion to complete the picture. If you think those already noted are good then think again because his combination with fellow lead vocalists Melara, Colonna (shades of Bonnie Raitt? She left me transfixed the first time I watched the DVD) and Beth Garner on ‘Dakota’ defines praise since the ultimate performance is achieved on the heart-wrenching ballad.

While a couple of songs lack the direction of others this twin release is one set to be revisited more than most, not least due to the band and I shall be following up on a few of them!

AUSTIN CHRONICLE AUG 14, 2009 REVIEW OF "THE LONG WAY HOME":

The ambitiousness of this live CD/DVD offering says as much about David Newbould's well-developed repertoire as it reflects his confident facility with performance. There's nothing tentative or green here; the NYC transplant is fully in command of his talents and direction with songs like "It Can Always Be Worse" and "Come What May." The DVD emphasizes Newbould's natural stage presence with golden promise and two bonus tracks.

A Few Words About Austin:

When I decided in early 2002 that I wanted to leave New York City, I didn't have a destination in mind. I just knew a chapter had come to an end, and wherever I ended up would likely be addition by subtraction. A couple of friends had told me about Austin, I had another friend in Dallas bugging me to come visit him, so I figured alright, I'll go and check this place out, see if I can move my music career over to Texas. I like Stevie Ray Vaughn.

Seven and a half years later, I have had a good run musically here, but the town itself has taken over my heart in a way I never expected. I have no doubt in my soul that I could spend the rest of my life here, raise a family, be happier than if I were to call anywhere else my home. Austinites are a very privileged people. They just don't build Jon Dee Grahams in other cities. Certainly the energy of one's surroundings affect who you are and how you feel, and no matter how many high-rises they build downtown, how many clubs get lost to karaoke frat bars, or how many unnecessary new coffeeshops keep sprouting up (not to mention how many residences vote Starbucks Austin's best cup of coffee?!?), Austin just plain makes me feel good. Comfortable. Home. I never knew it was going to happen, it's a time I'm going to cherish and brag about forever, wherever I go.

Unfortunately, I have to go. I have a new national booking agent, something I could never manage to wrangle out here, and the costs of touring make it very difficult to work out of here if you want to reach as many people and places as I do. I know this, I've been working at it for a long time now. And like just about anywhere, Austin is a difficult place to build a sustainable career without leaving its confines...especially when the outside music world doesn't come here but for those 4 ridiculous days in March. So it is with an optimistic and yet heavy heart that I leave for Nashville, Tennessee at the end of this month - a wonderful place in its own right. And for you Austin, I leave my most unconditional thanks and love, and hopes that one day I might return to your lovely shores and once again call you once home.

David Newbould.

Indeed, Warren Hood and Molly Venter are slated to join in at the event, as well as Volkaert, Colonna, and most of the above mentioned talent.

"The Long Way Home: David Newbould and Friends Live From Austin" is the new CD/DVD release from nationally acclaimed Americana singer/songwriter David Newbould. David's work has appeared on major network TV shows such as "Criminal Minds", "Harper's Island", and "Dawson's Creek". This is his fifth release, and comes on the heels of the critically successful Big Red Sun, which was named one of the top releases of the year by Performing Songwriter Magazine (Jan/Feb 2009 issue). This live package offers a select career retrospective, as well as a handful of new songs, all performed with a rich selection of musical guests. It is being released as a live CD and a live concert HD DVD.

Since 2007's Big Red Sun, David has spent a majority of his time on the road. Always, however, he returned to his beloved adopted hometown of Austin, Texas. There is a certain camaraderie amongst musicians who live in Austin and yet hardly spend any of their time there, one based on the commonality of being able to find a sense of at home out in the middle of nowhere, of accepting the necessity and love of playing to new audiences, and yet the knowledge that the softest bed and richest taco are always going to be right at home in Austin, central Texas. It is a camaraderie that makes actually playing together in Austin very sweet. This package represents a culmination of David's seven years in Austin, and features many of the best friends he has made and come to work with during the time. "I came here for the music, but I fell in love with the people and the place", he says. "These are some truly world class musicians and I'm very proud to work with them and call them my friends."

For proof, check out the desert freeway guitar that the legendary Redd Volkaert lends to track 2, "It Can Always Be Worse", or the guitar, dobro, fiddle throwdown between Volkaert, Cindy Cashdollar, and Strings Attached’s Will Taylor during track 7, "Nobody Loves Me Like You Do". Listen for Wendy Colonna's Emmylou-like high harmonies on track 5, the country-folk tinged "Old Friend", or for former Leonard Cohen sidekick Steve Zirkel's smokey trumpet on track 9, "Something To Lose". Listen also for beautiful Megan Melara, who has sung with David steadily for over two years, and who accompanies him on almost every track. "It's no joke. These people have all helped make me better." This is road worn Americana, brought home with a sense of purpose and pride.

Following a series of release shows in Austin, Texas, David is relocating to Nashville to begin work with a new touring agency, and to work his career in the "other" music city. "Nashville is a wonderful place, but Austin is always going to own a piece of me. Goodbye Austin, it's been very real. This is a memento of the best seven years of my life".

		6/9/2011 David Newbould will be opening up for The Joe Ely Band on Tues June 21, at 3rd and Lindsley in Nashville. Also forthcoming is a show with Kristen Cothron at The Listening Room Cafe, Nashville, on Thursday July 7, and tonight at The Bluebird June 9. More news to follow shortly. 7/22/2008 David Newbould's "Big Red Sun" in the July/August 2008 Issue of Performing Songwriter Magazine: David Newbould Big Red Sun Featured Download: "Nobody Loves Me Like You Do" MP3 If Dan Wilson and Pete Yorn had a folkier kid brother, he’d be David Newbould. Wielding a voice as wearily distinctive as Shawn Mullins, Newbould sings every word with a dusty radiance. Though his adeptness with hazy sketches predominates, Newbould blazes brightest when blurring alternate hues of exhaustion and exuberance—a talent especially evident on “Empty Arms” (whose stretched-out phrases evoke Wilson’s trademark vocal elasticity), the graceful “Family Man” and rollicking stomper “Nobody Loves Me Like You Do,” fueled by Cindy Cashdollar’s dobro adrenaline rush. When he sings “I’d rather be a man with a broken dream / than one who never had one” under the title track’s simmering desert sheen, he’s not kidding. —GG -------------------- ...and featured in the Amarillo Globe-News: Artist’s Music Crosses Genre Lines To make things easy, you could call David Newbould’s music Americana. But in reality, his tunes reach across genre lines, everything from country and folk to rock and pop. The Canadian-born artist grew up with a love for the guitar, becoming a fan of metal and ’70s rock. Then he got into Neil Young, the artist that Newbould said first changed his outlook on music. “That’s when I realized the importance of the song and playing guitar in the parameter of the song,” he said. Newbould moved from Toronto to New York in the mid-’90s, where he would spend about seven years honing his craft and developing a fan base. Then in 2002, he left the Big Apple for Austin. “I’ve enjoyed living here a lot and music wise, it’s had its ups and downs,” he said. Newbould said his ideas of what Austin was musically were off. He said he learned the city has an insulated music culture, one where artists can have fame and success and never leave the city. Newbould compared that insulation to the Canadian music scene, which was a reason he left. So, he’s worked to build a regional fan base with hopes of moving on to a national scene. Newbould has made an effort to perform in West Texas, the Texas Panhandle and New Mexico, which, along with just living in Texas, has had an impact on his music. “That terrain really does something to music; it’s bizarre,” he said. “It’s such a visual and the way it feels makes such an impression you can’t help but have this Southern, Texan tilt to your music after a while.” Newbould is currently touring on his latest release, “Big Red Sun.” The album features many of Austin’s music legends, including Redd Volkaert and Cindy Cashdollar. Newbould will perform today at Butler’s Martini Lounge. His current tour features him and his bass player. “(At live shows) you really weed out the people who are there to listen to music and find something they like as opposed to the people who are kind of there to hang out at the bar,” he said. “Really, mostly it’s about me singing my songs to people that want to hear them.” -------------------- ...and also a feature in Go! - Lubbock's Weekly Entertainment Guide: Folk Man: You’ve heard his songs on ‘Dawson’s Creek’; now hear him in Lubbock July 10, 2008 The time he spent carving out his identity, this singer songwriter created a nice following of loyal fans. Born and raised in Canada, David Newbould, whose accent has no trace back to our Northern neighbor, describes his music revolution coming later in life. “After I decided I wasn’t going to be a guitar hero like I wanted, to be like Neil Young. I realized I needed to start writing songs,” he said. “Once I found it, I knew this was for me, and now my craft is constantly evolving.” Newbould said he found his identity and passion for music when he was playing the drums at age 11. “By the time I turned 15, it was all I cared about,” he said. Leaving his home country to pursue his dream in America, Newbould found a place, New York City. He had created a loyal fan following performing as a solo artist as well as with a band, and then he relocated to the Lone Star State’s music capitol, Austin. When asked how he describes his music, Newbould said it was difficult to answer. “For many years I have been trying to figure it out, and how to describe my music,” he said. “It is almost asking people to describe themselves. It is difficult. But I like to think of my music being folk, which I describe as writing about people and the world around you.” When Newbould talks about his writing, he said the first five or six years he put a lot of work into it. “After applying myself and where I was blocking off three to five hours a day to write, it made it comfortable for me,” he said. “You try so hard to sound like your heros, but eventually you come out with your own sound.” His own sound has appeared on five network TV shows and DVDs to date, including “Dawson’s Creek,” Paramount’s “Joan of Arcadia,” Fox’s “Party of Five,” CBS “Threshold” and “Lifetime’s “Monarch Cove.” Newbould said he feels a level of success for his music to be a part of a network show. “It is not what I was striving for,” he said, modestly. “I am more satisfied to perform a good show and people like it. That is what I do it for.” Newbould said his steady climb to stardom was by making the best music he can and by reaching as many people. “It really is what you make of it.” * When: 10 p.m. Friday. * Where: Gas Light, 5212 57th St. * Cover charge: Free. * Information: 785-1720. --------------------
