“You have a Treasure in your midst…the great Dave Feder ”  - Jimmy Buffett

“Dave has a magic way of making you feel like an old friend with songs that are original and intimate.  He is a master guitarist who plays his own intricate Flamenco influenced finger-style music with laid back island feel.”   NPR – Michael Stock

“Dave is like a train that rides with solar energy”

"When addressing musicianship and guitar artistry, I am always thrilled to listen to whatever he comes up with….it is always spot on, incarnated, musical and spirited, with a groovy and candid sense of urgency, joy and light. Last but not least, it is generous, like the man himself.”   World Music Guitarist and Recording Artist, Pierre Bensusan

“Black Emerald is David Feder’s best work yet. I’ve listened to it over and over, and each time I’m knocked out by the energy of the music. It’s one of those special albums that stands as a singular creative vision, not just a collection of songs. Dave’s touch with the Latin guitar is magic.”   New York Times Best Selling Author, Carl Hiaasen

“And the music is so clear and true that it makes you shiver.”   The Miami Herald – Reporter (CC Hemingway)

“David Feder… a real world-class act. He did amazing things on an electrified Taylor classical guitar during an incredible set… If his sheer musicianship wasn’t dazzling enough, the stories he told about his compositions were funny, moving, and he really touched a lot of people with his music.”   TIME OUT

If you can shred on a nylon string guitar, that’s what David Feder does. If you like terms like Boho Chic and Eclectic Bohemian, then you’ll have some insight into the style he’s coined as Bohemian Flamenco. Having traveled the world and then settling in the Florida Keys, Feder’s all original set list pulls from the many musical environs he’s inhabited. He plays in finger style with a mix of a little bluegrass and a strong Flamenco technique, but some of his hard driving runs are so strong and clear, you’d swear he’s using a pick. From my vantage point at the back of the room, all the chair dancing in the audience was evidence of the love everyone in the room was sharing for the music and soul Feder projected. The ninety-minute set flew by, and everyone left with lifted sprits and smiling faces!   Michelle Fratus – Board President, Knoxville Guitar Society
