It's true. I've been away, but I'm back with a brand new album, The Year of Lost and Found: A Pand'opera!

It was written during lockdown and clocks in at a whopping 22 minutes. The songs range from funny to moody, and I'm really proud of it.

In this episode, I preview 3 tunes from the album, and throw in one written with my longtime collaborator, Byron Isaacs from The Lumineers.

You can get my album on all platforms starting April 10th!

Settle in with a cozy blanket and perhaps some tissues, as David Garland takes us through the remarkable journey of his life as a visual artist, musical creator, and radio host of Spinning On Air, a weekly music show on WNYC for 28 years. After his wife Anne received a terminal cancer diagnosis, David and his son Kenji created and played music together in the room directly below Anne’s bedroom throughout the months leading up to her passing.
