Description

David LaMotte is a songwriter, speaker and author. As a musician, David has performed over 3500 concerts and released thirteen full-length CDs of primarily original music, touring in all of the fifty states and on five of the seven continents. The Boston Globe writes that his music “pushes the envelope with challenging lyrics and unusual tunings, but he also pays homage to folk tradition,” while BBC Radio Belfast lauds his “charm, stories, humour, insightful songs, sweet voice and dazzling guitar ability.” His most recent album, Still, features a number one song on Folk Radio, September Me. The album remained in the top forty for six months. A song he co-wrote was heavily featured in the 2024-2025 Broadway production of Our Town. He has been a featured performer at top tier music festivals including the Kerrville Folk Festival, Merlefest, the Auckland Folk Festival (NZ), LEAF, and the Australian National Folk Festival. His dense speaking and workshop calendar has included presenting at the PC(USA) Mission to the United Nations, keynoting peace conferences in India, Australia, Germany and at the Scottish Parliament, as well as offering the baccalaureate for graduates of Columbia Seminary. He is currently booked to keynote the opening plenary for the 2025 Rotary International Convention in Calgary, to a stadium audience of roughly 30,000 people.
