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

A fifth generation Texan, Dallas bred BSD spent his formative years as a musician in the live music capitol of the world in 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 (Sonic Yourth, Dinosaur Jr) along with some of New York's most notable indie musicians.

In 2017, Barton's cover of The Cars' 80's classic "Drive" was featured on NPR's Acoustic Cafe, KFOG's Acoustic Sunrise, and Radio Woodstock, among others.

Barton is currently in the studio recording his full length album "Crest".
