David Lombard

David Lombard’s self-titled project’s backbone rests on melodic guitar fingerpicking and a soulfully expressive “Don McLean-like voice” (Bernard Dagnies, Musiczine [FRBE]), a combination resulting in the singer-songwriter’s genuinely “gritty folk-rock quality that we could never tire of” (Tom Haugen, Take Effect [US]). Inspired by the music of the likes of Jason Isbell, Joe Pug, Bruce Springsteen, and Tom Petty as well as by the poetry of, for example, Henry D. Thoreau and Walt Whitman, he has been performing his heartfelt but humble songs alone throughout Belgium since 2012, and accompanied by a band since 2018.

David released his first home-made EP in 2015, which was followed by his well-received debut album “Looking for a Dream” in 2019, distributed and promoted by the independent record labels Homerecords (CD), Freaksville Publishing (digital), and JauneOrange (publishing). “Looking for a Dream” is a concept album featuring solo acoustic as well as electric (with a full band) versions of mid-tempo intense and uplifting “tracks that drive out your fears and doubts, and replace them with a dreamer’s confidence and belief” (Tom Hilton, Aldora Britain Records [UK]). In 2021, David released a digital five-track EP consisting of the outtakes of his first album, titled the “Looking for a Dream Outtakes.” He is now currently working on new materials.
