A dynamic vocalist with solid command over his 1949 Gibson J-45, Dave Crossland is one of the best performing songwriters under the radar today.

Crossland began playing professionally while a college student in Ann Arbor, Michigan. A local favorite, he became a frequent opener for national acts and a regular headliner at the Ark, one of the finest acoustic music clubs in America. Finishing college with an honors thesis on Woody Guthrie, he left for Boston to hit the open mikes and sharpen his craft in its larger community of burgeoning talent. There, Crossland quickly rose "from open stage habitue to headliner" with his peers, Ellis Paul, Dar Williams, Catie Curtis and a few others, to be counted "among the most promising voices in the Boston folk scene" by the Boston Globe.

While his contemporaries steadily worked on growing careers, Crossland's path held different challenges. A witness and caretaker during his mother's prolonged battle with cancer, Dave worked to balance two worlds. The effort greatly affected the direction of his songwriting as well as his life. His rocking 1999 release, Molly's Street, veered sharply from his acoustic roots, and after his mother's passing, he moved to Nashville to record the EP, Fields of Promise, under indie label Appleseed. read more
