David Childers

David Childers is a North Carolina-based singer-songwriter and roots rock troubadour whose gritty, storytelling-driven music blends Americana, country, and Southern rock. A practicing attorney by day, he’s spent decades balancing law with a prolific music career, earning a cult following for his raw, literary songwriting and working-class narratives. His songs often explore themes of Southern identity, faith, and resilience, delivered with a weathered, soulful voice that feels both lived-in and urgent. Over the years, he’s collaborated with artists like Don Dixon and members of the Avett Brothers, and his releases—including recent tracks like “Run Skeleton Run” and “Serpents of Reformation”—showcase his knack for blending darkly poetic lyrics with foot-stomping, twangy arrangements. Whether he’s dissecting regional history or personal demons, Childers remains a fiercely independent voice in the Americana scene.
