David Myles' New Album Premieres on All Music

On September 25, Nova Scotia's award-winning acoustic crooner David Myles will release his official US debut album So Far through Little Tiny Records.  Reminiscent of the late '50's folk/roots/swing era, So Far is a collection of David's songs over the years re-recorded and re-imagined in an acoustic stripped down format seamlessly combining the cool of Chet Baker with the ruckus of Chuck Berry.  All Music has the exclusive sneak peak of the "smooth, sophisticated collection of tracks."

The youngest of four brothers, Myles grew up in a musical household on the east coast of Canada.  Even though his parents were avid music lovers - the entire family played an instrument, working their way through the Royal Conservatory repertoire - they insisted that he seek higher education which landed him on the path to a political science degree.  When studying Chinese in China with plans to go to law school, he began writing songs with a $30 red and green plywood guitar and started deviating from his education.  He broke the news to his family that he'd be pursuing music full-time upon his return home and promised his disappointed father that he'd wear a suit to work every single day (hence David wears suits when he performs).
 
More than a decade later, Myles has a thriving career as a musician, hosts a CBCradio show called "The East Coast Music Hour," and tours the country winning many accolades and awards.  Of his many accomplishments, the most unexpected is his collaboration in 2013 with hip-hop artist Classified on the song "Inner Ninja,"an anti-bullying song featuring kids in the chorus.  It went on to become the best-selling rap single in the history of Canadian music, going quadruple platinum, and netted them a Juno for "Rap Recording of the Year."
 
Watch him perform "Need a Break" live with his trio on Guitar World who called it "a toe-tapping acoustic rockabilly-ish delight chock full of clever lyrics and some pretty sick riffin’."
