David Easton Band Biography
David Easton (Keyboards/Vocals)
David Easton is on the move, at least when it comes to his music. He has traveled around the US performing everything from pop/rock to jazz standards. You name it, he can do it. A singer, songwriter and keyboard player, his talent and versatility are just a part of his family legacy. His father was a composer/conductor/arranger/pianist who studied under Paul Hindemith at Yale and wrote music for 20th Century Fox and NBC. His great uncle Louis Silvers, was an Oscar winning musician "One Night of Love" and the genius behind the score for the groundbreaking first “talking” movie “The Jazz Singer.” with Al Jolson (1927) and the composer of such classic songs as "April Showers".
New Yorkers recognize David. He has played at The Bitter End, Downtime, The Triad, Don’t Tell Mama, Kavehaz and Birdland, and The Knitting Factory just to name a few. His originality sprang from many influences that range from The Beatles and Billy Joel to jazz and classical music.
Among David’s accomplishments are working as the keyboard player in the off-broadway smash hit "A Jew Grows In Brooklyn." which ran in NYC from 2006-2007, and being commissioned to write and perform an original song called “Change The Way You See Everything” as a companion to the best-selling book of the same name.
He has a BA in Music/Philosophy from St. Lawrence University, studied classical piano with Lee Dell'Anno at Kent School, jazz with the late great Jaki Byard (Manhattan School of Music) and done workshops with jazz legends Billy Taylor and Barry Harris. Torn between his passion to compose and perform he was awarded first place in the Hutchinson piano competition two years in a row.
David formed his own band in 2003 that plays mostly in the New York/Tri-State area showcasing David’s original pop/rock music and covers. The original music they play can be described as “soulful, melodic pop/rock with funky, jazzy spices” and is sure to get your soul rocking, your voice singing and your mind thinking. Whether you are looking for a jazz combo to play at a private party or for the next hot band to rock an audience David Easton is your man.
He's also a big fan of Charles Schultz.
"The David Easton Band is… exciting jazz-pop…. sophisticated original tunes. David is a dynamo on vocals and keyboards… infectious...sure to please. Don't miss this group!"
--Joe Bouchard, original Bassist and Founding member of Blue Oyster Cult
“There's something pure about David Easton. He seems to have a direct connection to his soul when he sings and plays. His talent as a vocalist and keyboardist as well as the light inside him are undeniable."
-- Lorraine Ferro, singer/voice teacher affiliated with National Academy of Popular music and Songwriter's Hall of Fame
Laying down the sweet’n’soulful heavenly funk… [Long Road Home] hits a strong and invigorating bouncy and bumpin’ groove that rarely let’s up for a minute. The diggin’ basslines, zoned-to-the-rippin’-bone keyboards, sturdy drums, and smooth riffin’ guitars keep things lively and thrilling throughout. David Easton’s pleasant, comforting voice and smart songwriting make for a potent and impressive double whammy. A smack dead on the money terrific album.
