David ventures to The Thornbury Local for his first ever performance there on October 18! Born and bred in Melbourne's north, there aren't many venues he hasn't performed in though The Thornbury Local is one... This is gonna be fun!
The Age described David Cosma as having the "full-bodied croon pairing the silken wryness of Elvis Costello and the gravel of Bob Dylan” while Street Press magazine wrote "a thinking person’s songwriter that speaks volumes to what a terrific talent we have in our midst”.
Inspiring lyrics accompanied by sumptuous melodies and harmonies, together with his unique method of playing the guitar (upside down aka south paw), guarantees an impassioned live performance. Sonically, his music is rich and luminous and boasts a world class production quality that is often overlooked in the world of independent artists, but it is lyrically where Cosma stands apart, with a knack for examining commonplace and even trite circumstance and then magnifies their significance with a wry and at times ironic tone. Religion, pop culture and nostalgic nuances, punctuate and ultimately, accentuate his writing, triggering instant attention from audience and listeners.
David has toured with, supported and performed alongside artists including Mark Seymour, Brian Cadd & Russell Morris, Pete Murray and Jeff Martin to name some.
He has also co-written and fronted the critically acclaimed theatre show "Sun Rising- The Songs That Made Memphis" for over a decade.
Recently, David travelled to Memphis Tennessee where he recorded music at the world famous Sun Studios, which will appear on his upcoming album due for release later this year!
Catch him with his long time musical partner Nick Carrafa who'll join him on drums and vocals!
