David Hinske
David Hinske is an award winning songwriter and has been performing live for over fifty years. He has released eleven albums of original music including ’The Off Switch is Broken’, which will be available at upcoming performances.
Starting at a tender single digit age, this music maker learned his craft from beginner’s lessons, schoolboy choirs, and start up garage bands. His first professional gig happened when he was 18 and performed with the band ‘Jade’ at a high school dance.
Over the last fifty plus years he has entertained audiences both as a solo performer and a band member in venues and living rooms across the United States ranging from Sebastopol, California to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and many, many places in between. In current times, David’s performances mostly consist of his own material, but occasionally stray into cover songs that might not sound immediately recognizable until the chorus.
Having survived the COVID years by equipping and learning to use a home recording studio, David has now released eleven albums including two ‘professionally’ recorded, one in Memphis, Tennessee and one in Alamosa, Colorado. One of his albums, “The Official Record’ was awarded Album of the Year at the Southwest Indie Artist Awards and the song ‘Small Dark Bar’ received Best Rock Song off of that same album.
David is a multi-instrumentalist and loves to spend hours on end in the studio refining and crafting his odd power pop/rock/folk music into quirky and layered three minute exposés. Sometimes straightforward, sometimes obscure, his lyrics make an audience ponder how in the heck his brain works.
