David Ramirez is breaking out of the pack among the new generation of Austin songwriters with his starkly beautiful baritone, which The New York Times once described as full of "haggard loneliness." He's paid his dues on the road, once putting more than 260,000 miles on a 2006 Kia Rio, and he's grown as a songwriter every time out. This fall, David is releasing a new album, " We’re Not Going Anywhere," of which he has this to say: "At a historical moment of immense political, social, and ecological uncertainty, those four simple words comprise both a promise and a protest, a comforting reassurance of inclusion as well as a hearty cry of defiance. It’s a statement that offers no small sense of hope, in that sense matching the music contained on the album." In the run-up, he's mounting his Live Bootleg tour, on which every show is a live recording!
