David Dondero (born 24 June 1969 in Duluth, Minnesota, United States) is an American singer-songwriter and guitarist.[1][2][3] In 2006, NPR's All Songs Considered named David one of the "best living songwriters" alongside Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney and Tom Waits.[4]
Music career
Dondero started his musical career on drums at the age of nine, due in part to the fact that he "was always drumming on stuff with my hands".[5] Dondero released four records with the Clemson, South Carolina–based punk/hardcore band Sunbrain (three on Grass Records and one on Ghostmeat Records), before breaking up in 1995. The following year, Dondero joined This Bike Is A Pipe Bomb for nearly two years as their drummer. He left in 1998 to focus on his solo material. He has since released fourteen solo albums – four with Ghostmeat Records, three with Future Farmer Records two with Team Love Records, and the last five have been self released. His latest album, titled Immersion Therapy, was released in August 2023.[6]
