David is a storyteller who has been entertaining Southeasterners with his songwriting, singing, and playing for over 20 years. While his natural playing style is what he calls twang rock (described by one music critic as "Hank Sr. meets the Beatles"), David is a prolific singer-songwriter who works in a variety of musical genres. David currently performs around the Southeast both as a solo artist (see www.davidglenndyer.com) and with his group The Crooked Smile Band (see www.crookedsmileband.com).
