David has been entertaining Southeasterners with his songwriting, singing, playing and story-telling for over 20 years. 

His latest independently released album, “Crossroads Grocery” (Spot Tail Records), delivers a refreshing blend of bluegrass-infused roots-rock that Dyer describes as “fried green tomatoes with a side of swamp water.” Track 4 - “Big JES”, a tune about David’s grandfather, and Track 10 - "Ustacould" on turning forty, recently appeared for a combined 19 weeks on Europe’s HotDisc Top 40 Most Popular Tracks Chart and respectively reached the # 25 & 13 positions. Dyer also recently received further international recognition by placing four songs in the top 1.5% overall in three different categories in the prestigious 2004 Billboard International Song Contest.

While stylistically Dyer describes his music as “roots-inspired twang rock” (“Hank Sr. meets the Beatles,” writes one recent reviewer), Dyer is a prolific singer-songwriter who works in a variety of musical genres. Dyer, 43, spent his formative years in the South Carolina Lowcountry and began writing and playing in his early teens. Over the years he has played with a variety of bluegrass, country & rock bands and currently performs both as a solo artist and with his Raleigh, NC based group, David Dyer & the Crooked Smile Band. He and Cheryl, his wife of sixteen years, enjoy two girls, Cammie, 10, and Ella, 4.

Major influences include Hank Sr., Elvis, Bill Monroe, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Jerry Garcia, John Lennon and various groups from the British invasion.
