Americana Artist David Starr Goes to the “Edge of The World” With Latest Acoustic Single
Announces Dates for UK Spring Tour May 2 - May 18
NASHVILLE, TN (March 29, 2024)...Americana artist, David Starr, releases the latest single from his upcoming acoustic album Starr & Stucky, out on all digital platforms today. “Edge Of The World” is an intimate version of the song originally on his 2017 EP The Head & Heart. Recorded in one take at Nashville’s Addiction Sound Studios with Starr’s mandolin player, Erik Stucky, today’s release gives listeners a look into his critically acclaimed live show. With emotive vocals and classic folk fingerpicking from Starr, paired with Stucky’s tasteful licks, it’s no wonder to see why audiences have been requesting an album from these two for some time.
Americana storytelling abounds on the track with Starr living up to his classic troubadour style. “‘Edge Of The World’ was originally inspired by a performer I met at a songwriter festival,” Starr shares. “My first impression was that she was kind of damaged and not coping all that well. But her songs told a more nuanced story, and I came to appreciate that she had obviously overcome some difficult stuff. The song is ultimately about resilience and hope. It was one of the very first songs I played for John Oates when we first discussed him producing an album for me."
“Give her half a chance…she’ll take you to the edge of the world” - Starr is going to the Edge of the World himself announcing a 13 date run in the UK with Erik Stucky in May. The two will take their flaming acoustic set to Coatbridge, Berwick-upon-Tweed, Nairn, Newcastle Upon Tyne, Portree, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Mold, Carmarthen, Rhossili, Ashwood, and Southport. This is the third time they are heading across the pond, and audiences are eager to welcome them back.
