An International Bluegrass Music Association Award winner, Wellington is critically acclaimed not only for his technical prowess, but also for leveraging his unique point of view to craft a one-of-a-kind voice on the instrument. Its a feat thats all too rare in these roots genres that seem to value emulation and regurgitation over all else. Instead, Wellington has time and time again reasserted that his playing style, and all of the many varied and disparate parts that combine within it, is wholly his own and its unconcerned with tradition. David Newbould is a lifer. Since kickstarting his career with 2007’s Big Red Sun, he’s made his mark as a heartland roots-rocker, Americana artist, and amplified folksinger, writing songs that chart the ups and downs of an adulthood often spent onstage and on the road. With 5 acclaimed albums and several EP’s to his credit, his songs have been featured on TV shows such as Dawson’s Creek and Criminal Minds. In 2020, Americana rocker David Newbould recorded the album, Power Up!, as part of a two man crew with producer Scot Sax. Fighting the limitations of the pandemic, the two played almost everything themselves. The experience inspired Newbould to build his own studio and begin working in such fashion. The natural evolution of this process is the new release, Average Fidelity Vol. 1, which released on streaming along with limited physical release on Aug 15, 2025. Canadian born troubadour David Newbould has kept himself in motion throughout his adult life, from working with indie band The Mercenaries in New York City, joining forces with friends like Jon Dee Graham and Cindy Cashdollar in Austin TX, and writing songs with the likes of Dan Baird and Aaron Lee Tasjan in his adopted hometown of Nashville.
