Say hello to the new year with a brilliant mandolinist famous for making the old new again. David has been associated with bluegrass ever since his first job as a mandolin picker back in 1964 with Red Allen and the Kentuckians. An ardent innovator, David soon gave the genre his own personal spin in the form of "dawg" music, a unique, highly intricate, harmonically advanced hybrid of so many different stylistic influences (swing, bluegrass, Latin, jazz, gypsy) that he had to invent a name for it.
