I first met David last October at the 36 D Management "Come For The Boobs, Stay For The Music" all day event at beautiful White Water Amphitheater in New Braunfels, TX to benefit the Susan B. Komen Foundation. Matt King was debuting a brand new band that night and David Beck was on upright bass. We got introduced and started talking. The next day, I listened to some tracks he had written and recorded, and then we met to discuss. The last 6 months has been a productive period for him, culminating in a 6 song project which is almost ready to be unveiled. And as of a few months ago, David Beck has started to play around Austin with his band The Well Dressed Thieves to thunderous applause. They are young, they are tight, and they are soulful.
David is still gigging with Matt's band, The Cutters. We had them play back to back for our Music Fog showcase in Austin, which made the equipment shuffle just a bit easier. Saturday of SX was the day. Every set was true to itself. We were wrapped in the magic of it, so stoked ALL DAY LONG. This is the very beginning of the story. Here is the title track from his forthcoming EP, Grand Island.
