David Celia

David is one of Canada’s finest singer-songwriters and a phenomenal guitarist. His music is a sparkling blend of roots rock, power pop and Americana. He released his first album Organica in 2002, but it was another five years before his second, This Isn’t Here that was particularly well received by NME Magazine who described it as “a collection of expertly crafted tunes brimming with smart lyrics and winning pop craftsmanship.” 
Some career highlights include being asked to play guitarist-sideman at a rare performance by Ian & Sylvia Tyson, playing massive festivals both in Canada and Europe and also supporting Elvis Costello, Shawn Colvin, Fairport Convention and more...He'll be back to Europe in June 2010, to play the legendary Glastonbury festival.
His third CD is due for release in Spring 2010 and includes an extremely expressive cast of artists such as Ben Mink(KD Lang), Gurf Morlix(Lucinda Williams), Mike Olsen(Arcade Fire), Don Kerr(Ron Sexsmith) and more.
