 "Reed is an extremely competent, polished and exciting musician." -Rory Block, blueswoman and recording artist "Reed's diverse musical background makes for a style that is incredibly eclectic and spontaneous." -The Berkshire (MA) Eagle ". . .his worldbeat leanings make for a slight similarity to artists David Byrne and Peter Gabriel." -Bennington (VT) Banner "Instrumentally upbeat all the way." -The Lakeville (CT) Journal "Reed seamlessly transitions from reggae to blues to calypso to rock in his playing." -St. John (USVI) Tradewinds |
Since the last millenium the artistry of David (Dr. Easy) Reed has been earning respect from audiences and critics alike throughout the northeast USA, Europe and the Caribbean.
A founding member of the seminal jam rock band, Max Creek, Reed has since developed into a delightful fingerstyle acoustic guitarist & multi-instrumentalist (ever heard a 'Reggae Banjo' or a conch shell 'TuTu'?), explorational singer/songwriter, way-cool whistler and seasoned performer. The good "Dakta" brings a smile to the face and a tap to the toe of young and old with his tasty and eclectic blend of rockin' NewFolk, rompin' ragtime, snappy country blues, inspired original songs and wonderous interpretations of many other popular artists' songs . . . all served up with a dash of spicy, sun-drenched Caribbean reggae & calypso.
Reed was chosen as a semi-finalist in the 2004 Newport Folk Festival Songwriting Contest and he received international recognition when he was profiled in the April 2006 issue of Acoustic Guitar magazine. His passionate, banjo-driven solo performance of "True Religion" brought down the house during the cathedral gospel concert of the 2004 Blues to Bop Festival in Lugano, Switzerland. Whether you seek a lively performer for your house concert, coffeehouse, club or festival stage, or a subtle, perfect complement to a fine dining or private party/picnic experience, David Reed is your man for the plan.
