Drawing upon early country, folk, rock, roots and jazz influences, David Molinari music flowers in the ‘Americana’ field. He surrounds himself with players that give his music a familiar and comforting feel but also reflects its experimental and creative leanings. For the last couple of years David has predominantly been performing with “Creolization”, his high energy, improvisational, Zydeco-influenced band all dressed up in accordion, washboard, and funky Louisiana backbeats. Lately it’s been getting hard to tell the difference between the driving Zydeco versions of roots music classics from David’s own growing catalog of spicy originals.
David will close A Winter’s Tune 2009 with a spunky creolized sing-along that will likely help us melt some snow on our way out.
