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.”
