Meet David Easterling

SINGER/SONGWRITER

David Easterling is a multi‑award‑winning Americana, folk, roots, and comedy singer‑songwriter, storyteller, and recording artist who splits his time between Nashville, New Orleans, and Oak Ridge, Tennessee—when he’s not out on the road. A prolific creative with international acclaim, David writes or co‑writes over 100 songs a year with collaborators around the world, and his catalog has been recorded, released, and performed by a growing roster of artists.

From the Grand Ole Opry stage, his co‑write “Losin’” with Alicia Harvey was named the 2024 Josie Music Awards Song of the Year (Country/Female). His own “Buried Before My Time” spent several weeks at #1 on the ReverbNation regional Americana charts, while “Take Me Back To Tennessee” was voted the 2023 Song of the Year (Songs About Home) by the Cumberland Mountain Song Crafters Guild. Additional accolades include “You Can Have Wichita” (with J. T. Redding) earning finalist honors in the SongDoer Competition and a semi‑finalist spot in the U.K. Songwriting Contest.

Onstage, David is as much storyteller as troubadour, weaving humor, heart, and hard‑won truth into every set. He performs throughout the Southeast, the Midwest up to Wisconsin, and annually on his five‑week Nashville‑to‑NOLA summer tour—yes, including a stop at The Rising Sun. In Nashville, his shows have included 12 Keys Saloon, The Commodore, Millennium Maxwell House, Springwater, Bobby’s Idle Hour, NashVox Studios, and more.

David’s media footprint spans radio, TV, and podcasts: multiple appearances on Knoxville’s WDVX Blue Plate Special, The Listening Room, and The David Bradley Show in Nashville; Music City on the Mountain (HLE Radio); WKLF 95.5 FM; K2K Radio in London; and airplay reaching as far as Australia. He has released seven albums of original music, with more on the way, and helms Hey Bear Music Entertainment (BMI).

Whether he’s trading verses in a Nashville writer’s room, swapping stories in a New Orleans club, or bringing an Oak Ridge porch song to life onstage, David Easterling delivers songs that travel well and are built to linger.
