Falling Off The Merry-Go-Round is the perfect title for David Stagl's debut CD. A CD featuring a collection of songs focused on our loss of innocence and need to address and solve our own problems. It is CD about the sad and fearful time in our lives when we leave behind the non-concerning time of our youth but also a future of optimism of our new freedom and where we will take our life.

While the Chicago born singer-songwriter's style shows the influences of artists such as Bruce Springsteen and U2, with its focus on the importance of making a personal and emotional connection, it would be unfair to categorize him. David is one of the new generation of artists who helps you recognize the problems in life and then motivates you to solve them.

Bio

Stagl began working as a duo with Cheap Souvenirs’ bassist David Goldman. The new arrangement allowed Stagl to experiment more, and the extra room allowed for a healthy dollop of groove to be injected into the mix. Stagl knew in his heart though that things were still embryonic and it was time to take the 8mm songs he was writing and expand them to the Technicolor 70mm widescreen masterpieces they were trying to become. The basic components were there but he needed a drummer who could shift styles seamlessly, color in the corners, and ground the whole experience with a weighty backbeat. From the first beat with drummer Mike Gerbitz, Stagl realized he had found his man and Stagl’s backing band The Burning Daylight was complete.
