   Watch out for David's 3rd album in 2009!

Music reviewers and listeners have compared
compared David with artists as varied as Michael Stipe (R.E.M.), The Tragically Hip, James Taylor, Richard Thompson, Ellis Paul, Harry Chapin, Richard Shindell, and Gordon Lightfoot.  The universal message in his music captures the enthusiasm of both young and older listeners. 

Michigan songwriter David Nefesh writes 
songs that are infused with the folk, pop,       and rock influences that colored his   listening palette from youth to the present.  
Folk that rocks.  Music that reaches from deep 
in the heart and pierces the heart.  His strong 
and rich tenor voice rides the edge between heartbreak and ecstacy.  His songs weave infectious melodies with intimate, literate lyrics and poetic imagery through a trail of love, loss, yearning, joy, and personal transformation.
