Jump start your weekend with the fantastic music of the David Tewksbury Trio! Featuring David Tewksbury (vox, guitar), Chris Gregoria (percussion), and Erik Pearson (bass). Performing their groove-laden soulful indie folk rock vibes here in our slice of paradise. Friday, July 8th, from 6 to 8:30pm. Open to all. No cover.
Dubbed "rock poet" by C-VILLE, Tewksbury has been performing his original music in and around Charlottesville since 2007. Inspired by the art rock, jazz fusion, and R&B he grew up listening to on the radio, his original songs and grooving cover tunes wed rock’s intensity to soul’s intimacy. Themes cover the gamut-- from social justice to heartbreak, to life-celebrating anthems.
WVTF Radio's "Roots Down" host Luke Church who has called Tewksbury his “spirit animal,” sums up the music with the following -- "The essence of being... the presence of the moment... a piercing reflection on life. That is the music of David Tewksbury. Come for the winsome melodies and dancing guitar; stay for the raptured insight into the human condition.
The band released 2016's 11-track full-length "Sun is Rising". Tewksbury released his 2014 solo debut EP, "Five Months from October". Both are available for purchase on iTunes and CD Baby, and streamable on Spotify and YouTube.
