Singer/songwriter David Coburn is one of those pleasant surprises that refreshes the ear and engages the mind. His original sound comes from not only his unique point of view, but also from the way he plays his open-tuned guitar. A classically trained pianist of over thirty years, Coburn’s well developed rhythmic and melodic sensibility complement his "relatively" new relationship to the guitar.
