Solo artist or full band playing original blues, roots and folk music. We can play covers as well, but prefer to play our own music. Ideal for smaller, intimate venues, like parties, restaurants, wineries, bars, coffee shops and community centers.

August 23, 2026David Graybeard did not disappoint. The music was great! The campers totally enjoyed his music, they pulled out their camp chairs listened and some danced in their seats. I would hire them in a heartbeat!! Thank you!
Hired as: Acoustic Band
Price range: $75/hr solo, $100/hr full band
Languages: English
Gig length: 60 - 240 minutes
Unions: None
Will generally play 1 hour sets consisting largely of original songs. Can play more traditional blues, folk and rock selections if that is preferred. The sound is relaxed and amplified acoustic.
David Graybeard is a singer/songwriter hailing from Ithaca, NY, in the United States. His interests are in simple, roots music, especially in blues and folk. He has played in folk, rock and blues bands around the Finger Lakes region of New York State for the past few years. The recent release of The Turning album is a collection of folk songs and ballads, recorded solo on guitar. The album was recorded in front of a single mic, and the songs are "raw", unmixed and unedited with the sound of a live performance.
Small playing area is fine for solo gigs. For larger gigs we'll need more space and more advance notice of the gig.
