Bio:

David Dyer has been entertaining Southeasterners with his songwriting, singing, playing and story-telling for over 20 years.

Dyer recently received international recognition by placing four songs in the top 1.5% overall in three different categories in the prestigious 2004 Billboard International Song Contest.

Dyer, 43, spent his formative years in the South Carolina Lowcountry and began writing and playing in his early teens. Over the years he has played with a variety of bluegrass, country & rock bands and currently performs both as a solo artist and with his Raleigh, NC based group, David Dyer & the Crooked Smile Band. He and Cheryl, his wife of sixteen years, enjoy two girls, Cammie, 10, and Ella, 4.
