David Celia

On Tour from Canada! David Celia is an innovative singer/songwriter and astonishing guitar player, known for his spontaneously driven live performances. His songs cross many genres and have been described as "White Album Beatlesque”. Influences vary from Alternative Folk, Jazz/Blues, Classical, Rock n’ Roll, 60’s Psychedelic and even Classic Rock as a younger listener. He tours frequently across Canada and Europe (Glastonbury Festival) and is quoted as "One of Toronto's best guitar players” by CBC Radio. David's reputation as a guitarist has led him to play with many local Canadian artists including legendary Alt-Country/folk singers Ian & Sylvia Tyson, Andy Kim (The Archies) and acts diverse as Icelandic alt/pop star Emiliana Torrini. David's music consistently appears on the BBC and CBC and even the late Gordon Lightfoot had purchased all of his albums. After making two albums with duo project “Marla & David Celia”, he’s more recently experimenting and collaborating with new musicians (Zuffalo) and continuing to tour in Europe and the UK. “I like the sentiment in your lyrics” – Gordon Lightfoot “This is Superb” ~ Bob Harris, BBC Radio 2 “Pure musical escapism” ~ “NOW magazine, Toronto “Haunting melodies” ~ The Great Kreskin
