CODY RECORDS Recording Artist
David Langley - Nashville TN

Life has always been about music for me. I can’t imagine a day without music in it. It’s who and what I am. At 14 years old, we learned that my Mother had Cancer. At 17, I witnessed her death, and as a very sad and confused teenager, music was the only thing I had to hang on to. My guitar kept me going. As life moved on, two sons and two divorces later, my Father died then my Step Mom, and music is still what kept me going, and still does to this day.

As a California boy, now proudly living and performing in Nashville TN., music continues to be my way of life. I use my guitar playing, singing and writing, as a painter would use a canvas to reveal his thoughts and feelings from inside. I write what I feel, pain or happiness I’ve experienced, and of my hopes and desires of my life to come.

I have the great honor of having a duet recording on my latest CD with my friend, the late Buck Owens. I met Buck while being a regular performer at The Buck Owens Crystal Palace in Bakersfield CA. Buck was and still is a hero of mine. I was speechless the day he suggested we record together. I can never thank him enough for that experience.

I’ve also had the pleasure of opening for such artists as George Strait, Ty Herndon, Tanya Tucker, John Conlee, John Anderson and Keith Urban just to name a few, as well as another big influence and hero, Merle Haggard. More recently, while living here in Nashville I became a Cherokee Cowboy, a member of the Ray Price band, and completed a tour of Canada and the East coast with Ray and Willie Nelson. I was also a member of The PTA Band with Miss Jeanie C. Riley. Recently, I have been performing regularly at The Nashville Palace as a member of the Nashville Palace Band, and lead guitarist and harmony vocalist for the name acts that perform there such as Ty Herndon and Irlene Mandrell. Also performs weekly at The Maxwell House Hotel downtown Nashville .

I hope you enjoy my music.
