David Newbould is an exciting singer/songwriter/performer, and he has many believers who can testify to the passion and earnestness he puts into his work. His music has appeared on 9 Network TV shows/films/DVD’s/trailers to date (CBS’ “Criminal Minds”, WB’s “Dawson’s Creek”, Paramount’s “Joan of Arcadia”, Fox’s “Party Of Five”, CBS’ “Threshold”, Lifetime’s “Monarch Cove”, Lifetime Movie’s “The Two Mr. Kissels”, Millennium Films’ forthcoming “Streets Of Blood” {starring 50 Cent and Val Kilmer}, and CBS’ “Harper’s Island”), he has performed to acclaim at numerous ASCAP songwriting events, and can count among his fans various executives at Universal Music, Sony Canada, RCA Records, and North Star Media Publishing. For many years he lived and worked in New York City, performing both solo in clubs and then with a band. He developed a loyal fan base all through relentless performances and word of mouth – no label publicity, no major press, no glitz. David is about what’s real, and what’s real is a song that will touch some aspect of a person’s life and make an indelible mark. In 2002, after seven years in New York, David relocated to Austin, TX. He has appeared on numerous radio and TV shows, had videos in rotation on Austin Music Network/ME Television, recorded his third EP, his first full length CD, his new live CD/DVD package, signed a publishing deal with North Star, and developed his most dedicated and thorough following to date. Performing regularly in “The Live Music Capitol of The World”, David has carved out a niche as not only a melodic and sincere tunesmith, but also one who performs with great energy and will command a crowd. At every show he converts new people who have never heard or seen him before. His mailing list has ballooned. He plays a brand of rock and roll that is not limited to such genres such as Americana, classic rock, or singer-songwriter restraint. It is a brand which celebrates all of rock music’s melodic past, and one which is still familiar to those who love rock and roll, and all the richness and depth it has to offer. In May of 2009, David released “The Long Way Home: David Newbould And Friends – Live From Austin”, a live CD/DVD of old and new songs, filmed and recorded at ME Television Studios in Austin, Texas. The concert’s special guests include Redd Volkaert, Cindy Cashdollar, Will Taylor, Wendy Colonna, and many more. To date he has recorded 3 EPs, 2 compilations, and Big Red Sun, and sells them steadily at shows and out of the back of his truck. There is a consistent flow of high quality songs coming out of him, as well as performances – constant performances. David grew up in Toronto, Canada, but has made the US his target audience. His fan base is currently made up largely of groups of loyal supporters, but as he continues to release music and widen his audience, the larger and more universal his appeal will become. Update, June 2009. David Newbould has relocated to Nashville, TN! Working with new booking agent (Chris Conaway, DB International), you can find DN on tour all across the southeast, northeast, south, and midwest throughout 2009, as well as at NXNE in Toronto June 18.

“Big Red Sun” review – EvolutionOfMedia.com: Although Big Red Sun will be compared to albums by any number of people—from Ryan Adams to Pete Yorn to the Wallflowers—I think Newbould’s influences are closer to 70’s artists like the late Dan Fogelberg, Jackson Browne, James Taylor, and Kenny Loggins. Songs like “Something To Lose” and “Love in Your Heart” have the lullaby quality that Loggins used to excel at, while “Empty Arms” has the freewheeling feel of Browne at his happiest. And just to prove that he can hoedown with the best of them, Newbould kicks his heels on the rollicking “Nobody Loves Me Like You Do”. But it’s the title song that’s the centerpiece of the album: a stark, dry-as-the-Mojave mediation on life that crystallizes everything that the album stands for, from the artwork on down. Newbould is another one of those guys who has managed to place his songs in various TV shows, in hopes of getting much-needed exposure. In a perfect world, he would not need to go to such crass extremes to get his music heard; it would be enough that songs as perfect as “Family Man” and the achingly beautiful “Keeping it In” could get lots of airplay on a good radio station. But it’s not the 70’s anymore, and one must do what one can to get heard. And no matter how he does it, David Newbould deserves to be heard and Big Red Sun deserves everyone’s undivided attention.

“Big Red Sun” review – MilesOfMusic.com (click here for purchase link):It’s A Cracker!! 100% Guaranteed!! Big Red Sun was recorded while David Newbould was a itinerant resident of Austin. Newbould sings with an exhilaration, avoiding the overwrought, instead falling squarely into warmth and passionate. Combined with a strong ear for melody and a directness in his storytelling Newbould nails this collection of introspective folk and traditional country. Newbould recruited Cindy Cashdollar, Redd Volkaert, Jon Dee Graham and others to help him on his first full length after releasing a series of EPs. Big Red Sun has a glowing emotional center that makes it a perfect way to brighten a gloomy day. — Jeff Weiss, Miles of Music

“Big Red Sun” review – Ink19.comI hate to accuse anyone of being a sensitive singer/songwriter, but I’m afraid Mr. Newbould is very good at singing, writing, and picking up skilled session men and women to back him. The tone of Big Red Sun is soft and melodic with occasional flashes of a vaguely honky-tonk sound (“Empty Arms” and “Nobody Loves Me Like You Do”), but his forte is the solid love of a stable romance, family life, and the simple pleasures of living as far off the fast track as possible. Backing him up on these Austin-influenced sessions are the likes of Cindy Cashdollar, Jon Dee Graham, and Don Harvey. Big Red Sun is listenable, non-controversial, and is a pleasant amalgam of old-school country revival, traditional studio folk music, and solid craftsmanship. I have nothing but love to send to Mr. Newbould and his music — it’s a calm island in a hectic universe. — Carl F Gauze

“Big Red Sun” review – TheChickenFishSpeaks.comThe CD cover looks like this should be a country / cowboy type disc and wouldn’t you know it. It is! However, I’m a bit more disposed to liking this than I normally would be because David Newbould sounds so much like David Pirner that he gets extra points. The music is on the mellower side of country and is a fairly close cousin to folk. — Grog Mutant (2008) </p></p></p></p>
