Making a Scene Presents an Interview with David Harland

David is a singer/songwriter and fingerstyle guitarist in the tradition of great innovators like Michael Hedges, Nick Drake, David Wilcox, and Billy McLaughlin, who believes music holds the power to reach the deepest parts of our lives and make the world a better place.

Since the age of 5, when he was gifted a plastic acoustic guitar for Christmas, David has felt the strong pull of music. That modest gift sparked a lifelong connection with guitar and songwriting. By age 14, he played bass guitar, sang, and wrote songs in a Minneapolis rock band. During his “rock band” days, he discovered his love of songwriting and melody, ultimately leading to his focus on acoustic guitar. He found it to be the perfect complement to his evolving songwriting style.

It wasn’t long before David became completely enamored with acoustic guitar music. Seeing and hearing how artists like Hedges, Drake, Wilcox, and McLaughlin played completely changed his perception of what was possible with an acoustic guitar. Today, David prolifically writes guitar music while integrating his love of melody with heartfelt emotion.
