David Michael Boyd

David Michael Boyd: third time Fort Collins resident, grew up in Boulder and have played music in 19 nations (including Texas). I began playing music on the cello at 8 years of age, switched to guitar at 11 (the Beatles played guitars!) and was influenced by my rag-time piano playing mother, two guitar playing uncles, Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix and ultimately, by those guitarist's heroes: blues players in both the Delta and Chicago Blues traditions. I also am pursuing classical guitar and have composed instrumental music for the acoustic guitar. My main focus at the moment is playing with Blues Behind Bars doing concerts in prisons and songwriting with inmates. BBB is both a band and a non-profit, so I perform in both solo and band formats.
