American Songwriter Magazine “Macdonald is one of those few songwriters like Nick Drake, Conor Oberst (Bright Eyes) and Josh Ritter that can captivate his listeners armed only with a voice and guitar.”
Bio / Background
From outback desert uranium mine geologist to drummer for Australian folk popsters The Waifs touring with Bob Dylan, David Ross Macdonald’s poetic eye for the human spirit coupled with his sublime fingerstyle guitar playing is an artist who’s music emotionally evokes and inspires.
The July 2006 release “Knuckled Brass and Bone” is his 3rd and most humanist work to date.
These 9 tracks effortlessly navigate the listener through simple emotional narratives and into uncharted waters deep in social comment and darker contemplations all the while beguiling the listener with his hypnotic fingerstyle guitar playing.
His poignant arrangement of the unofficial Australian national anthem “Waltzing Matilda”, the ode to his grandfathers walking stick “Old Joe’s Cane” or the bittersweet “Til I’m Gone” never fail to touch and soothe the listeners being.
