David Coile
Longmont, Colorado, United States | Established. Jan 01, 2014
Bio
With a mix of rock, folk and soul alongside his acoustic, finger-style guitar, David Coile sings of many things: from love to rocket ships, from birthdays to divorce, from boredom to the end of the world. His voice can be soulful and sweet, and his guitar playing can be delicate or powerful. Like some bastard child of Elliot Smith and Spoon with a dash of Cee Lo Green's DNA mixed in, David Coile's music takes you on an emotional roller coaster ride.
"I didn't care much about music until college. I took a mandatory music history class and suddenly was collecting everything I could, from the Beatles to the Velvet Underground, from Mississippi John Hurt to Ani DiFranco, from Sam Cooke to Blossom Dearie. I wasn't more than a passionate explorer until my senior year, when a couple friends and I recorded some a cappella songs for a makeshift holiday gift. Soon we were writing and recording our own original pieces. Since then, I've become passionate about the depth and breadth of songcraft. Paul Simon, Otis Redding, Tom Waits, Willie Dixon, John Lennon, Smokey Robinson, Richard Thompson-- these, among others, are my idols. Someday, I hope to write songs with half the power, grace and charm of these giants. Until then, I'll just scratch away at my guitar and bellow out some catchy tunes here and there... maybe entertain a few folks along the way."
