David McWane hails from Hamilton Massachusetts, an historic town on the North Shore of Boston, where he spent his childhood in a First Period house surrounded by history, dense woods, blossoming orchards, and flowing streams. From an early age, music was his avocation, forming and performing in a succession of bands from middle school through high school. As a student at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, he and 6 friends started another band called Big D and the Kids Table, for which he is the lead vocalist. For the past 12 years, Big D has brought their unique style of SKA/punk music to a worldwide audience and developed a wildly devoted fan base. David began his writing career composing lyrics for Big D’s music. But as the band traveled the roads across America, Canada, England, and Eastern and Western Europe, David began to recount his observations and experiences in prose and poetry. On tour breaks back in Boston David would sneak into buildings on the Harvard campus to compile his notes for his first book, The Gypsy Mile. This self-published book is a collection of poetry and prose that describes his observations of the people he’s met, places he’s visited, and experiences he’s had around the world. Selling over a thousand copies, David has developed a loyal and enthusiastic following of readers.
