It’s a small world — David used to play music with some high school friends of mine years ago. Recently I posted a Facebook note asking my friends to recommend great Canadian artists and I noticed David Martel’s name came up many times and with good reason! I can honestly say that this guy blew my mind. I went in as a nearly blank slate, only having listened to a very short clip of his stuff via his Myspace. But armed with the praise of my friends, I went to check him out at Sunrise Records on Thursday, the first day of NXNE.
Sadly the audience wasn’t as big as David deserved, but luckily for me, fewer people meant that I could watch the show completely uninterrupted which was awesome.
So, that being said — enough with the talk, here’s a video from the show for you of David performing a song that has become an absolute favourite of mine since I first heard it on Thursday. It’s called “The Good Lord” and it’s off of his brand new album entitled I Hardly Knew Me… and it’s on repeat on my stereo right now.
As always, make sure
