The "Prophet with a Guitar"

David M. Bailey, singer/songwriter/survivor, will perform at St. John's UCC Church this coming Sunday night- Sept. 16th at 7 p.m. Freewill offering.

Don't miss this one, folks.
I first saw him at Musicfest, Bethlehem.

On July 4, 1996, dotors told David he had a malignant brain tumor and would be dead by Chrsitmas. David left his corporate career and returned to songwriting and performing. Nine years, 12 albums, 40 states and hundreds of concerts later, David, his songs, and his passions are alive and well.

One of his seventh grade teachers showed him some basic guitar chords. He went to to study classical guitar. David soon began writing his own songs and made his first recording a year later. Strong melodies and intricate finger picking serve to deliver keen, witty and insightful lyrics about faith, hope, love and dreams. David is known as a "prophet with a guitar".
