After four albums, and countless shows with his band The Collection, David Wimbish
returns to his origins with the onset of his new incarnation as a solo artist, David
Wimbish & The Collection. The singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist’s first
demonstration of this new direction will be his self-titled LP (Nettwerk), featuring new
music and alternate versions of fan favorite tracks from previous albums.
“When my career began, the name of the project was David Wimbish & The Collection,”
he says, “but over the following years, what was originally a solo project became a
band. The relationships were close, both emotionally and musically, and they remain
that way. But after 10 years of playing as a band, life decided it was time for that
chapter to end. I’ve loved making and performing music with my friends. There have
been so many beautiful moments we’ve shared, and I am incredibly grateful to my
bandmates, and our fans, for all of it. But there’s a new life to this next chapter. I’m
getting back to a more organic sonic footprint that’s more focused on serving the song. I
returned to writing in a way that I hadn’t in a long time and stepping into a very honest
space.”
In pursuing this return to his roots, Wimbish found the perfect cohort to bring this new
vision to life in producer Marshall Altman [Matt Nathanson, Trevor Hall]. For th
e first
time in his recording career David cut songs entirely live in the studio, which birthed
raw, emotion-driven performances that elevated the songs to match the depth of their
