Discover Rising Star Barton Stanley David

He cut his teeth and honed his musical skills in Dallas and Austin, before he moved to New York City with little more than a suitcase and his dreams. No, it's not a movie script; this is story so far for rising star Barton Stanley David.

He draws influence from wide ranging music styles, and he has played with and befriended some talented folks in Texas and New York. His recent release of a cover version of The Cars Drive is bringing attention to the soft spoken folk rocker, who visited the KETR studios during a visit to his home state.

For additional information about the artist, check his website which includes links to social media.

Hear the music of Texas, and discussions with the people behind the sounds, weekdays from 11am to 2pm on KETR.
