David Blazye's music is all about the song and the way you connect to the emotion and feel of his performance. See him play and he gets lost in the song, in the moment and energy of it.
His interest is in the life of the song: how it evolves from its inception to performing it in various settings. It is a being in itself, not simply tied to its creation... it grows.
He is inspired by a range of rich influences such as the raw qualities of writers like Bukowski and Fante, the craft of songwriters like Neil Young, Tom Waits and Bonnie Prince Billy, and the power of singers such as Janis Joplin and Tim Buckley.
David is playing regular gigs around Nottingham, his home city, both with his band 'The Reservations' and as a solo acoustic performer. Both are equally important to him: there's a freedom that comes with playing solo shows, and with the band the songs take on a deeper character. There's a great energy to the band, a rockier feel and a balance between spontaneity and tightness.
