David LaMotte is an award-winning songwriter, speaker and writer. He has performed over 3500 concerts and released 13 full-length CDs of primarily original music, touring in all of the 50 states, as well as 5 of the 7 continents. The Boston Globe writes that his music “pushes the envelope with challenging lyrics and unusual tunings, but he also pays homage to folk tradition,” while BBC Radio Belfast lauds his “charm, stories, humour, insightful songs, sweet voice and dazzling guitar ability.”
His dense speaking and workshop calendar has included presenting at the PC(USA) Mission to the United Nations, keynoting peace conferences in Germany, India, Australia, England, and at the Scottish Parliament, and two TEDx talks — the second of which was chosen as an Editor's Pick by TED.
