David Wayne’s life is a walking country song. He began listening to country music at the age of five as he played country records for his parents and relatives when they played cards on the weekends. Being an only child, David would wander away from home and walk the countryside near his hometown of Jellico, Tennessee, experiencing the songs he has heard in his mind. By listening to the great singers of that time, the sincerity of the lyrics that paints word pictures embedded the country music lifestyle in his mind. From this point, David wanted to be like his heroes, a country music singer.

David has an expressive and emotional voice with a smooth tone with a touch
of spiritualism that sometimes brings a tear to him and his audience. He connects immediately with his audience when they realize he is “just one of them.” David entertains his audience like he would like to be entertained and dresses for the occasion like his musical heroes of the past. He constantly monitors his audience using all of his vocal and entertainment expertise to make sure they enjoy every minute of his show. David’s number one priority is taking the older members of his audience back in time and introducing the younger members to the great legendary country songs. On their journey, the audience keeps Classic Country music alive.

David applies his entertainment skills at fairs, festivals, and any venue where Classic Country music is enjoyed. This past summer David was a featured performer at one of the largest fairs in the country: the Ohio State Fair. He has opened shows for Little Texas, Georgette Jones, Leona Williams, and Jan Howard. David has worked some of the classic country stages – one being Renfo Valley, working all three shows: Spotlight, Jubilee and the Barn Dance. He is also the featured performer at Red Barn Convention Center, Winchester, Ohio. David is equally as comfortable on stage with just his guitar or with a band.

David has made several guest appearances on the Shotgun Red Variety Show and the Virginia Dreams Center Stage series on cable’s RFD-TV. His latest album recorded in Nashville is “Thanks a Million” – a tribute to Marty Robbins.

You can find David's music on radio, and his songs are always climbing the independent music charts.

The country music lifestyle embedded in his mind has never left him. When you witness a David Wayne Classic Country performance, you will realize he is truly a “walking country song.”
