Art Motel was looking forward to playing the Boatyard Buckeye Lake but rain made for a change of plans. Duo with Hunter made for a chill afternoon entertaining neighbors and friends.
Buckeye Lake-Zanesville Gigs
Another strong week in the works for this guy! David Spires Duo gig at the Buckeye Lake Winery this Friday, 6-9pm with Mike Nicklaus.
Saturday 2-6pm at the Boatyard at Buckeye Lake with David Cooper. David’s gonna bring electric, acoustic, and some harmonica! Maybe I’ll toss in a lap steel to add to the variety.
Sunday, I am back at The Barn-Zanesville with Art Motel! Art Motel @ The Barn-Zanesville, 5-8pm. You can hear me on Pedal Steel, Lap Steel, and Dobro with these guys.
Big thanks to all my friends who came out to my gigs this past weekend. Your support means a lot to me, and to the establishments that make live music part of their experience.

Dad’s “Ol’ Guitar
NEW MUSIC!
This song was born from an Object Writing exercise I brought to one of our Songwriting Workshops. We each picked an actual item from our lives that had personal meaning, and wrote from there. Here is what I came up with:
Growing up for me was being immersed in Dad’s music studio where he taught thousands of students to play, and nothing symbolized that for me like Dad’s “Ol’ Guitar”. It was a vehicle for so many of life’s lessons, and I hope it will be for my son too.
I’d love it if you gave it a listen:
Where’s David?

Playing Pedal Steel with Silverado Tonight
Back with Bim Strawser and Silverado tonight at The Hunter Street Saloon. Spent the afternoon learning more about the New Fender Tone Master Pro. Reinventing the wheel is fun! Having an afternoon for personal growth is a luxury that doesn’t happen often enough. We’ll hear what it’s like with my pedal steel tonight. I have a feeling I am going to enjoy the hell out of making some music!
