Influenced in equal measure by 60's folk and 70's rock, along with a steady diet of alt rock and classical, Barton Stanley David has a voice as big as his home state.

A fifth generation Texan, Dallas bred BSD spent his formative years in the live music capital of Austin before landing in New York City in 2009 with only a suitcase.

Barton's debut album "Blue For East Broadway" was completed with help from famed Indie producer John Agnello (Bob Dylan, Sonic Youth) along with some of New York's most notable musicians.

Barton's cover of The Cars' 80's classic "Drive" scored radio success in 2017 with features on NPR's Acoustic Cafe, Acoustic Sunrise, and others.

In 2022, Barton released his full length album Crest, producing himself alongside Jeff Saenz (Leon Bridges) and Grammy-Winning mixer Dave Schiffman (Tom Petty, Adele) to strong critical and fan acclaim.

NPR hailed the album as a "90's style Alt-Rock meets Chamber Pop masterpiece of Americana, tethered together by David's one of a kind voice," while Glide called Crest "Stirring with a vocally rhythmic grace reminiscent of Damien Rice."

A limited Deluxe edition of Crest will be available on vinyl in 2025.

Barton is currently in the studio recording his forthcoming EP "Stories From Before You Were Born" featuring single "Known You All Along", a duet with fellow Texas artist Becky Middleton.
