Founding fiddler of the Mamou Playboys, David now works as a solo fiddler and vocalist, focusing on "home music," designed for listening rather than dancing. He has assembled a repertoire of uncommon Cajun music, using old and rare tunes, new companion pieces to the old ones, and striking new melodies that meld Cajun roots with fiddle sounds he’s heard in his travels worldwide, and arranging them with novel instrumentation and rich harmonies.
