David Newbould is the kind of songwriter people discover once—and follow for years. A Blackbird Record Label recording artist, Newbould has spent nearly two decades carving out his place in the roots-rock and Americana world with road-worn songs full of grit, heart, humor, and hard-earned truth.
Born in Toronto, shaped by New York City, Austin, and ultimately Nashville, his music blends heartland rock swagger with the soul of an amplified folk singer, drawing comparisons to artists like Steve Earle and Tom Petty while remaining unmistakably his own. From critically acclaimed albums like Tennessee, Sin & Redemption, and Power Up! to international tours and a devoted European following, Newbould has built a career the old-fashioned way—one unforgettable live show at a time.
With thousands of performances under his belt, songs featured in shows like Criminal Minds and Dawson’s Creek, and a brand-new release on the horizon, David Newbould brings a rare kind of authenticity to the stage that feels increasingly hard to find
If you love timeless songwriting, roots-driven rock & roll, and intimate performances that leave a mark long after the final song, this is a night you do not want to miss.
