David Singley and Donna Adler

Born and raised in rural central Illinois, David Singley is a singer- songwriter-guitarist living in Saint Paul, Minnesota, whose music is born of the street, the country, and the academy. An experienced veteran with decades of backing world-class artists and performers, he has recently joined the “Great Resignation” and set his sights on his own artistic pursuits. His music evokes the golden era of the singer-songwriter: the late ’60’s and early-to-mid ’70’s; with its chameleonic stylistic twists and turns, as well as its memorable melodies and insightful, poetic lyrics. His music expresses a point-of-view that is at once highly personal and triumphantly global. His voice evokes traces of many of his influences: James Taylor, Gordon Lightfoot, Jim Croce, Jackson Browne, Dan Fogelberg, and many others. His guitar playing is at once highly focused and passionate, impressive, yet always absolutely appropriate to the song at hand. Donna has been present in the Chicago music scene for many years, soaking up the influences of Steve Goodman, John Prine and other Chicago icons like Tom Dundee.She is noted for having a beautiful singing voice, writing catchy short-story-like songs, with a style ranging from folk/Americana and sometimes country. Donna has a history that goes back to the early days of the Uncommon Ground on Clark, lending a song to their Compilation CD, Live at the Uncommon Ground, Volume I and she participated in the first 2 Jeff Buckley Tribute shows.
