‘beautifully addictive cacophony like nothing you've heard before’ The Guardian

David Stith stems from a musical family: his father is a conductor, grandfather is a professor emeritus in the music department of Cornell University, mother is a pianist, and his sister sings opera, plays piano, timpani and tap dances. So it was written in the stars that he too would go do something in music.

In high school he started a noise band, wrote lots of bad poetry and made an attempt to write a novella and a children's book.

He moved from Rochester to Brooklyn and got work there as a graphic designer. That's where he also got to know Shara Worden (My Brightest Diamond) and, after helping out on her first album, he developed a taste for writing his own songs too. In the first month of his musical experimentation he wrote all the songs for his album ‘Ichabot and Apple’ (2005).

In 2009 his first full album was released on the Asthmatic Kitty Records label (that of Sufjan Stevens).

A new DM Stith album is to be released in early 2015 and that's why he'll be heading over to Europe to give several small concerts. So, too, in our AB living room: Huis23.

Al seat for this concert are taken. You can subscribe on the waiting list.
