All of David Newberry’s friends are folk musicians, but he can’t stand folk music. Still, fans and music critics have aligned him with the Canadian folk scene, perhaps because of his voice and lyric-driven, often political songs. David visited Travis and Derek to talk about his new record Replacement Things (which has barely an acoustic instrument in sight), the west coast folk scene, the city of Toronto, workplace injuries, and why it’s easier to write music for kids.
