David S. Kruse

David S. Kruse is a storyteller employing folk-rock’s unique histories to present a compelling look at characters whose rural lives are built in equal measure from devastation and joy. With a slight country swing, his work rambles and sways in time with the uncommon grace of his bucolic surroundings. Absorbing the influence of artists like Neil Young and Gram Parsons, Kruse builds these fascinating atmospheres where quiet despair and unfiltered hope exist comfortably side by side. His work is warm and occasionally unsettling, building to the creation of a world where these individuals and the consequences of their actions can play out to their inevitable conclusions.
