I'm an Alaska-raised New Yorker making music in the city. I serve tables to pay bills while I write, record, perform and produce. You can hear my work at www.davidalanthornton.com

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My favorite shows to play are houseshows: a group of friends gathering together in someone's home to share food and drink and to see art. I curate and perform in houseshows in NYC, but I'd like to extend and share my work in Europe and throughout the rest of the United States. Couch surfing is the perfect way to travel and perform on a budget.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My music: people who have been to a houseshow will almost always say its their favorite type of performance. It's intimate, it's comfortable, it's inexpensive. In exchange for a place to stay and the opportunity to ask for tips, I'll provide you with an evening of original tunes (and some covers) and a great excuse to get together with people you like!
