Hole In The Bottom - Official Video from the CD Yesterday's Gone Produced by: Samantha Fish (Wild Heart Records) Video Director - Devon Williams ( Raven Studios LLC) Recorded /Mixed - Michael Harvey (Nola Studios) Mastered by: Tony Daigle Location: Tbois, Louisiana & the bank of the Tennessee River, Muscle Shoals, AL Nicholas David is excited to bring his original music to listeners. The pull of the American heartland has been ever increasing in recent years, bringing this gifted pianist/singer/songwriter to the point where he can deliver, as he likes to say, “music from the heart for the heart.” Having released a steady output of albums and EPs over the past 15 years. He had begun to work on the songs heard on this album when he took a solo opening spot for the Devon Allman Project in 2015. David says, “We really connected on stage. Later our paths crossed after his mom and dad passed. After taking time off, he formed a bigger band and offered me the keyboard spot.” Nicholas accepted, to join the Devon Allman Project on a 2018-19 world tour. Among the many notable musicians David met during the 14-month-long trek across the globe was musician Samantha Fish. David was struck by the beautiful sincere quality of Samantha’s music as she was touring behind Belle of the West. “She moved me and a song or two of mine caught her attention. She asked me to come to New Orleans as she’d like to help me make the record,” David said. David headed to New Orleans to commence work on this album, with Fish in the producer’s chair. He says, “I’ve had some people tell me I sound a bit like Dr. John and it’s funny because I never really listened to his music until now. This pull of The South has become such a strong force that I feel like I understand some of Dr. John’s language now.” From the first pastoral notes of “Hole in the Bottom,” slightly reminiscent of a grittier Bruce Hornsby, David’s voice is in complete command as he sings about sacrifice and the need to not overdo anything. Yesterday's Gone is naturally a keyboard-driven showcase for David’s songs, and he’s accompanied by some terrific studio contributors such as guitarists Duane Betts, and the recent Wild Hearts Record artist Jonathan Long. Other musicians include Fish’s drummer Scott Graves and renowned Crescent City bassist Charlie Wooton.
