Calling David Paul Zimmer a "singer-songwriter" is an understatement.
After 15 years honing his craft, Zimmer is in the midst of recording his debut record slated for release this year. It will capture the vast traditional and modern musical influences that have informed his eclectic live solo act. David's sound - recalling Neil Young, Radiohead and Wilco - is an evocative mix of electronically looped acoustic and electric guitars.

“The material I’m writing now is more true to me and where I come from than anything I’ve done in the past.” David says. “Every song I write seems to become my new favorite.”

The Tallahassee, Florida native's musical roots run deep, starting with his Grandfather, Paul. His grandfather inspired his love of music, as well as his own middle name.

"One of my favorite memories as a kid is of my Granddad playing the fiddle while my entire family clapped along.” David said. “Goose bumps shot straight up my spine and I knew I had to learn how to do whatever it was he was doing."

David first picked up guitar in high school, inspired by 90s modern rock. In college, he broadened his interest to include the blues, jazz, bluegrass, progressive rock and country. After college, David started playing in bands from Gainesville, Florida, to Nashville, Tennessee.

“Playing in bands and collaborating with other musicians has been some of the most fun I’ve had in life,” David said. “But it’s also been an incredible learning experience, both musically and personally. I really feel fortunate to have played with so many great musicians and personalities.”
