David Roth

Kerrville New Folk award winner (1986), landslide top vote-getter at the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival's "Most Wanted Showcase" (1996), and NAIRD INDIE nominee—Digging Through My Closet, singer/songwriter album of the year (1994), DAVID ROTH has often been cited for his entertaining stage presence, accomplished musicianship, and powerful singing and subject matter. Since emerging from a nationwide field of several hundred songwriters to open the 1987 Kerrville (TX) Folk Festival as its New Folk winner, Roth has won accolades for his performances, workshops, writing, and recordings. In addition to singing "Earth" at the 40th Anniversary of the United Nations, David's "Rising in Love" was performed at the 100th Anniversary of Carnegie Hall in 1991. "Manuel Garcia" (based on the true story of one man's battle with cancer) and "Nine Gold Medals" (which Tom Paxton says is "one of the best songs I've heard in the last 20 years") both appear in the best-selling Chicken Soup for the Soul series by Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen. Roth's song "A Little Something More" appears in Barbara Glanz's business best-seller CARE Packages for the Workplace (McGraw-Hill).
