Roots singer-songwriter David Essig uses the traditions he grew up with - Bluegrass and Delta Blues - to create timeless original songs. A master of the guitar, David moves with fluid grace between country and blues and is considered one of Canada’s finest slide guitarists. David composed “Berkeley Springs” – a Celtic guitar instrumental that has become a standard for finger-style guitarists worldwide.

Visit his website for more background details. Also, check out this YouTube recording of his unique version of the Old Rugged Cross, and his song, Albert's Cove, considered a classic of Canadian roots music.
