About The Three Davids

David Holt

Four time Grammy award winner David Holt has lived a life of musical adventure. For over three decades, David’s passion for traditional music and stories has fueled a successful performing and recording career. He has hosted numerous television shows including Fire On The Mountain, the PBS Folkways series and Great Scenic Railway Journeys and has performed and recorded with many of his mentors including Doc Watson, Chet Atkins, Bill Monroe and Earl Scruggs. He can be heard each week on public radio’s Riverwalk Jazz and seen in the movie O Brother Where Art Thou.

Holt’s new recording, Let It Slide features his original songs and slide guitar work. David lives in Asheville and tours both solo,and with his band the Lightning Bolts and his new group Deep River Rising with Bryan Sutton and T. Michael Coleman.

David Wilcox

Considered a ‘songwriter’s songwriter’, David’s songs have been covered by artists such as k.d. lang and many others. In addition to his writing prowess, his skills as a performer and storyteller are unmatched. He holds audiences rapt with nothing more than a single guitar, thoroughly written songs, a fearless ability to mine the depths of human emotions of joy, sorrow and everything in between, and all tempered by a quick and wry wit. His lyrical insight is matched by a smooth baritone voice, virtuosic guitar chops, and creative open tunings, giving him a range and tenderness rare in folk music.

Wilcox’s 2014 release, blaze is a “complex blossom of contradictions that is held together at the center by this blissfully focused state of mind that I first came to know while pedaling across the country.” With blaze, David has stayed true to himself and artistically alive …, leaving only the path ahead and the trail to blaze.

David LaMotte

David LaMotte is an award-winning songwriter whose music has taken him around the globe, performing 2500 concerts to devoted fans on five continents. Along the way, he has had the chance to perform with many of the artists who inspired him as a young man, including Pete Seeger, Arlo Guthrie and the band America. The Boston Globe says he “pushes the envelope with challenging lyrics and unusual tunings, but he also pays homage to folk tradition.”

LaMotte has recorded 11 albums including one for children, S.S. Bathtub, which led to the publication of his first children’s book. That was followed by a second illustrated book for children, White Flour. In 2014 he published his first book for adults, Worldchanging 101: Challenging the Myth of Powerlessness.
