ABOUT
David Ian Roberts makes music in his adoptive home of Cardiff, Wales.
While always connected in spirit to the work of the great 20th century folk guitarists and singer-songwriters, his recorded music is continually evolving, and explores complex harmony and wide sonic landscapes. At times highly composed, and at others incorporating improvisation and collaboration, Roberts' songs can always be traced back to the solo guitar and vocal performance.
He has released 4 full length albums to date. 'From The Harbour' [Cambrian Records 2020] was described by Mark Radcliffe on BBC Radio 2 as "A quiet masterpiece - one of the albums that I'll cherish in the future". It also garnered praise from Guy Garvey on BBC6 Music - "Beautiful and very hypnotic - I love its freedom and its ease".
UNCUT called 2019's 'Travelling Bright' "A quietly exceptional album...Roberts writes deeply introspective songs and renders them in rich orchestrated widescreen."
His self-titled 5th full length LP was released in March 2024.
