Lyrical and literary, singer-songwriter David Schaefer brings classic folk melodies to life with poetic turns of phrase, vivid imagery and a voice reminiscent of Cat Stevens and Passenger. Inspired by the classic songwriters of the '60s folk revival and contemporary lyricists like Conor Oberst, Gillian Welch, Sam Beam and Adriane Lenker, his first album “Beloved” was released in November 2024.
