Howdy!

It’s been a hot minute since my last post so I figured I should dust off the ol’ blog and give it a go.

First item, I have a show this Saturday (5.4.13) in Mebane, NC! This will be my first performance in Mebane ever. It’s an acoustic show but plan to come hungry/thirsty because Karma On Third will be happy to serve you tasty food and bev. Two different sets from 7-9 pm. I’m planning to debut some interesting covers so make it a plan to be there Hope to see you! Free!

Secondly, I’m in the process of integrating a little store right into my site so, before long, you’ll be able to buy a t-shirt or a CD, or whatever, right from davidbdollar.com. Pretty fancy smancy if you ask me. Stay tuned for that.

Thirdly, please purchase my debut EP, Benefit of The Doubt, if you haven’t already. It’s available everywhere – iTunes, Amazon, CD Baby, Bandcamp. You name it. Show me some love!

Peace,

David B. Dollar

Do you like to drink water? I know I do. Especially when I’m thirsty. It’s easy, however, to take this necessity of life for granted. There are a billion people in the world who don’t have access to clean, safe drinking water. Charity:Water is an organization who has set out to do everything in their power to end this horrible reality. Click here to learn more about what they do.

With every physical copy of my new EP sold, I will be donating $1 to Charity: Water. “That isn’t very much.”, you say. Well, it only takes a measly $20 to provide one person with clean, safe drinking water. That’s like, nothin’. Plus, it seemed fitting with my last name being ‘Dollar’. My EP release party is just ONE week from tonight at Casbah in downtown Durham, NC.  Everyone who pays to get in will receive a copy of Benefit Of The Doubt (my EP) AND, in turn, will be helping to fund the work of this amazing organization. I will also have a laptop setup if you want to give more than just a dollar. Doors are at 7, show at 8. Two amazing openers – Gentle Robot and claybrook. Door prizes, silliness, and more. You should probably be there.

Peace,

David B. Dollar

Howdy peeps,

I can’t tell you how excited I am to be getting a new axe in the next few months. No, not the kind you get at Home Depot to chop down a cherry tree (nerdy President’s Day reference – Feb. 18 ). I’m talking about the axe that you shred while plugged into an amp. This isn’t just any normal axe either. It’s a special specialty. Back in early December, I took a little drive down to Hiddenite, NC to meet Andy Elliott, owner of Elliott Guitars. Had a great time getting to know Andy, as well as playing some of his world class instruments. He talked about guys like Drew Shirley (Switchfoot), Matt Podesla (Matt Redman, Chris Tomlin) and even showed me a red sparkly body he was working on for Grant Mickelson for Taylor Swift’s “Red” tour. I ended up commissioning Andy to build me one of his Custom Tone Masters. As you can see, it’s a work of art, and trust me, it sounds as amazing as it looks. This is the same color I’m getting as well. Surf green. Not exactly sure the timeline but I’ll probably be posting lots of videos of this thing when I get it. Stay tuned!

Also, for you love birds out there, Valentine’s Day is coming up! If you’re looking for a place to take your sweetheart, do drop in to Deep South: The Bar around 9pm for their V-Day party! Excited to play my first show of 2013. Check the deets! Hope to see you!

Howdy friends!

It’s been a fun 3 weeks since I released Benefit of The Doubt, my debut EP. If you’re lookin’ for a place to buy it, see below for a list of online vendors. Just click the link and you’ll be wisked away to an online store.

Amazon
iTunes
Bandcamp

The physical CD will be released late February so keep your eyes open for that!

I had a lot of help putting this little project together and today I want to highlight someone in particular. David Stanfield is a lifetime friend of mine and an unbelievably talented person – art, music, video, sports; you name it. He’s also quite handsome. Yep. He was my first choice to create a cover piece for this EP and, in my humble opinion, he hit a grand slam. He took an old photo I snapped in Holland and ran with it, adding beautiful design elements and his signature hand drawn style. So many folks have commented on how much they like it. If you’re interested in learning more about him and his art, please visit  his page here —> davidstanfieldis.me. Buy something in the store and support an amazing person! David lives in Charlotte, NC with his wife and 2 babies.

Enjoy your weekend! Be intentional about getting some rest.

Peace,

David B. Dollar

Hello all! I hope 2013 has been a blast so far. It’s gonna be a great year!

As you hopefully know by now, I released my debut EP a little over a week ago; it’s been a great week! If you haven’t purchased it yet but would like to, you can search for David B. Dollar on iTunes or head over to davidbdollar.bandcamp.com and download it there. There is also a player on this site to stream the music as much as you’d like!

I am from and live in Durham, NC  and one of the coolest things about my new EP is that I got to produce and record it right here in the Bull City. Sound Pure Studios is an absolutely amazing facility and I was blown away to be able to spend two days there making a record. I felt a little out of my league to be honest. Jason Richmond was the engineer and we had a grand ol’ time capturing the sounds. I could blab on but you should just check it out for yourself here —> http://soundpurestudios.com/   Truly a world class studio right in downtown Durham! If you’re an artist or in a band, you should seriously consider Sound Pure for your next project.

Peace,

David B. Dollar
