Dave Fry’s latest folk album “Troubadour” is a polished and mature collection of Dave’s current repertoire, featuring blues, old-school country, folk rock, and Celtic music, as well as original songwriting and Americana styles. Along with Dave’s original music, other songwriters include Pete Seeger, John Gorka, David Mallett, Tommy Sands and Stan Rogers.
Erik Balkey (Hudson Harding Music – folk radio promoter): “Each song has a different tempo and feel … with great engaging vocal performances.”
The Longest Night of the Year

I have a Christmas tune – “Cool Yule” by Louis Armstrong, featuring trombonist Rob Stoneback – on a new two-disc compilation called “The Longest Night of the Year: Volume One.” There are 32 folk artists, including Christine Lavin, Noel Paul Stookey, Suzzy Roche, Carolann Solebello, David Roth and others, included on this nationally distributed holiday project. I have a limited number available here on my website, at my gigs and at Godfrey Daniels.
