​David Childers (from the album Interstate Lullaby available on Ramseur Records)
The duality of the South can be heard in the words and music of David Childers, his literary tone to the tales becoming contemporary stage plays of Southern life, the songwriter holding the guitar a Modern-day Southern man on his recent release, Interstate Lullaby. North Carolina’s David Childers turns the pages on youthful memories in “Edge of Town”, bidding “Farewell to Indiana” as his story drives through early morning cornfields while the strums revs up to cruise through “Camp Latta Shuffle” while picked notes become a mountain reel in “Key in Her Pocket”.
 
An ex-football player with good ol’ boy skin is the outer layer of David Childers, the exterior image masking a mind that soaks up poetry and painting. Citing both Chaucer and Kerouac as influences, David Childers shuffles between Folk, Jazz, and Opera for personal musical tastes, arming himself with his words and music mentors when giving up his law practice in order to pursue and concentrate on his creative passions. Interstate Lullaby counts to four, beginning its song cycle with the current of “Flow on River”, mirroring the water theme and ocean sways to bemoan “Summer is Gone”. Musical snippets appear as waystations on the album, David Childers pausing to play in the back-alley bounce of “Jazz Interlude” and pulsating amid the rhythms of “Country Interlude” as he recites a letter to the night in “Nocturnal”. There is a movement to the music of David Childers, the motion in Interstate Lullabyfinding itself part of the story traveling “Twilight Road” and letting the white lines be a metronome for the title track as the album walks the “Streets of Nashville” with ghosts and dreams.
