Album Notes

Lucky Dog is the first widely available release from singer/songwriter David Maguire.

David has been playing music for most of his life. He started performing when he was only eight, and later spent years playing the bar scene in New England and Florida. Tiring of that, he took a long break and came back determined to write and play his own songs.

For the last seven years, he has split his time between his home in northeastern Vermont and Nashville, working on his songwriting and playing live engagements. He plays occasionally throughout New England, and he can be seen in Nashville at such prestigious venues as the Bluebird Café. He is currently planning regional tours throughout the country in support of the release of Lucky Dog.

Just like he travels back and forth between New England and Tennessee, David’s music travels the roads between contemporary folk and country, with a large part of acoustic singer/songwriter thrown into the mix. He strives to write songs with comfortable yet creative melodies, with lyrics that are understandable without being trite or cliche.

When he’s fooling around, he comes up with stories about NASCAR wanna-bes (Turn Left Go Fast), quirky ways of expressing unrequited love (Lucky Dog) or ode's to his favorite season (Summer Coming On). He is at his best when he ventures into the field of common and universal human emotion and experience: the search for strength in a hard world (Tarpaulin Cove), the last good-bye to a true love (Lesson Learned) or the hopelessness of a relationship that is just not destined to be (Townie Boy).

David’s intimate yet strong voice and fluid acoustic guitar wrap around these songs and present them in a way that have had audiences shaking there heads in agreement.
