Greetings, one and all. Now that the holidays are in our rear view mirror, I’m moving forward with new paradigms in mind. With so much uncertainty in the world, I also welcome new ways to bring music into the world, combining the old with the new.

I’m kicking off 2022 with offering and outreach. In order to move forward with what is and to reimagine a life that had been filled with touring and travel, I’m embracing more virtual availability if I’m not able to come to you in person (which I will be doing with care and respect as the world allows). In awareness that different people and organizations have different resources, I encourage you to make contact and we can see what’s possible together.

Kindly write me at davidrothmusic@gmail.com about any of the following:

• Virtual concerts for your coffeehouse/concert series

• Private online concert for your family/friends/special occasion

• Keynotes, concerts, musical interludes for your conference

• Library programs

• One-to-five day courses on songwriting for camps, retreats

• Custom song (and recording) for a friend or loved ones

• Songwriting coaching ~ all levels

• Guitar lessons (standard and alternate tunings)

• Sermon-in-Song for your church, synagogue, spiritual community

Topics include:

~ This is the Year for Making Changes

~ We Have a Dream (Dr MLK Jr Sunday)

~ A Recipe for Progress: Thoughts, Prayers, and Action

~ Rising in Love: New Perspectives on Old Thoughts

~ The Power of “Yes”

~ Can One Person Make a Difference?

~ One World, Many Concerns

~ What Can I Do for You Today

~ What’s Different About “Differently-Abled”?

~ Ordinary People Do Extraordinary Things

~ My Voice Matters

Here goes something!

Germany’s Stockfisch Records released my 15th studio recording “Meet You Where You Are” (and fourth on this European label) in early 2020. What a time for a new album! Still waiting for the tour. They did another amazing job with my songs (and one by the late great Phil Ochs).

Eight of my 15 CDs – Rising in Love, Digging Through My Closet, Nights at the Chez, If You Can’t Fly, Another Side of David Roth, Irreconcilable Similarities, Think Twice (double CD), and now Rhubarb Trees (duo CD w/Anne Hills) continue to live on, reissued on a wooden 8 GB flash drive ~ 133 songs, lyrics, and liner notes (for the exotic price of $40 on my website, $30 at shows). ALSO included on the drive are other out-of-print items – the 12 tracks from my 1988 cassette May the Light of Love AND BOTH DR Songbooks, Volumes 1 and 2, forty eight selected songs in PDF form. As we say in New England, “a bahgain”.

Oxford University Press Worldwide has just re-upped for the use of my song Nine Gold Medals in yet another Indian textbook called Satthwa A Value Education Course 5. The licensing fee? 17,851.5 rupees. I got excited! Then I went to the currency calculator. Still, all these kids in India hearing about this story of courage and selfless-ness is worth every rupee and all of the two hundred dollars 🙂

Thanks for tuning in, always.

Before you go…
