Biography by Heather Phares for ALLMUSIC
There are other artists with the same name:
2) An acoustic blues guitarist and songwriter from San Luis Obispo, CA, United States.
3) A Saxophonist born in Los Angeles, CA, United States, currently living in Greece.
4) A jazz musician born in Signal Hill, CA, United States.
2) A native of Southern California, David Lynch grew up near the beach immersed in the surf culture.
He majored in Math at the University of California Santa Barbara and spent a lot of his time in "The Pit" (the audio section of the film department), multi-tracking original songs on quarter inch tape. This led him to a successful career in post-production sound, for which he has already earned an Emmy and 2 Golden Reel awards. He currently works for Warner Bros.
Before settling down with his wife and kids in San Luis Obispo, California, Lynch spent six weeks in Austin, Texas and six weeks in Nashville, Tennessee, while David went after the self imposed goal of 100 live shows.
The new album “DOZEN” by David Lynch and Friends features the fantastic Dobro work of Frank Duncan, and the outstanding Mandolin stylings of Mark Travis. Lighter and more accessible than “Good Wood” (his inspired release of 2001) or “David Lynch” (his self-titled release of 1996), the extra instrumentation gives the brilliant song writing some “get up and go.”
3) David Lynch (born in 1961 in Los Angeles, California, United States) is one of the most respected and accomplished musicians on the contemporary Greek music scene today. Though obviously not of Greek descent, the unique musical language he has developed by submerging his own expressive idiom into that of the Greek musical experience has earned him the reputation as being a musician of extraordinary sensitivity and versatility.
Of Irish and Eastern European ancestry, David was born and raised in Los Angeles. He studied jazz music with James Moody, Charles Lloyd, Ralph Bowen and John Coltrane associate, Garvin Buschell. After receiving various music awards and scholarships, David continued his studies at Dick Grove Music Workshops and began his professional career playing in numerous clubs, studios and with a variety of big bands.
At age 21, his need and desire to broaden his musical and personal horizons brought him to Europe. After an extended period of traveling he settled in Athens, where the environment seemed right for introspection and exploration.
David's insatiable quest for new and creative forms of expression quickly brought him in contact with some of Greece's most outstanding musicians, writers and singers from all parts of the country and from different traditions. David, since, has played on hundreds of albums, numerous movie soundtracks, and has co-founded several bands including The Missing Lynch, Faros, Trio, The David Lynch Project, Iskra, and Human Touch (along with Stavros Lantsias and Yiotis Kiourtsoglou have internationally released recordings).
He has also written music for film, theatre, radio, television and dance. He's played with Arturo Sandoval, Trilok Gurtu, Arild Anderson, Milcho Leviev, Marcus Stockhausen, The Temptations, Barry White and others. Of major importance in David's musical journey was his collaboration with the late traditional clarinettist, Vassilis Soukas. This experience, and its lasting influence, was the crossroad leading David deeper into his own spirit of "Greekness" and his internal "world music".
As a solo artist, David has released three CDs, "Lit'l Song", "Music With a View", and "Wandering Home". The latter featured renowned Irish uilleann piper Davy Spillane and was recorded live at the Athens Concert Hall.
In 2003, along with cellist/multi-instrumentalist Yiorgos Kaloudis, David co-founded the duet "Faros", an innovative duo which creates on-the-spot loops and spontaneous in-depth arrangements. One of David's latest projects of pride was the re-working of the music of the late-great innovator, Manos Hatzidakis. The recording is expected to be released in 2007 with Hatzidakis protege Elly Paspala and guest Blaine Reinenger (Raining Pleasure). David's most recent endeavor is the band "The Missing Lynch" where he appears as singer/songwriter.

Tell y'all a story

Every night they come, to dream of her
Crank up that radio, let me

Star dream girl, star dream girl
Every night they come, to dream of her

Crank up that radio, let me
Turn up the volume, I have a story to tell
Tell y'all a story
Narrate a tale to all listeners

Nice work David Lynch... If you were to make a feature length musical film in collaboration with Tom Waits and Leonard Cohen, the world could finally rest in peace.
@briant2492

@lees2708
Yeah!

Perfect theme song for the Root Of Evil podcast. Low fi, vocals, moody guitars that are complete with reverb and echo. With a solitary bass drum beat that sounds like somebody unwanted pounding up the stairs coming to your door. An audio David Lynch movie. I picture this being played at Ben's place in Blue Velvet.

I think I've got a pretty high tolerance to disturbing stuff, but their version of that song in combo with the content really, really, creeped me out. They had a slow version that played over openings and I had to stop listening and turn on some lights.
@dylanirvine4453
Damn this is awesome.... I for one am 200% behind Lynch on his tunes. It's got an unbelievably unique style and vibe that can only be his.
