David Massengill

David Massengill has written songs recorded and sung by the Roches, Joan Baez, Dave Van Ronk, Nanci Griffith, Tom Russell, David Bromberg, Chad Mitchell, Lucy Kaplansky, Shawn Colvin, Diana Jones, and just recently the young Anthony da Costa. Though he's lived in New York City for over 30 years he still has his accent from east Tennessee where he once chased a bobcat and vice versa. As a boy it was his heart's desire to be a viking or an escaped convict. Noted for his mountain ballad style story songs accompanied on an Edsel Martin dulcimer, he is frequently an artist-in-residence at schools with his song and picture book programs.

He is also a storyteller of charm and wit. Dave Van Ronk once said of David "he took the dull out of dulcimer." He has a variety of handmade picture books, bootleg and label cds available. His latest cd releases are a tribute to the songs of Dave Van Ronk entitled "Dave On Dave" (2007 Gadfly Records) and a duo partnership with Jack Hardy as The Folk Brothers entitled "Partners In Crime" (2008 Great Divide Records).
