David Sebring came to Nashville in 1970 to study music. Although not a country music specialist, David became enamored of the high degree of musicianship in and around Nashville. He first appeared on the PBS documentary "Showdown at the Hoedown" in the mid 70's backing up "Woody Paul" Chrisman in the final musical dual at the Smithville Jamboree. His first Rounder Record appearance was on Butch Robbins now historic record, "40 years late". "I have had the good fortune of studying with real string masters over the years, including Chet Atkins, Jerry Byrd, Harold Bradley, Lenny Breau, Billy Grammar and Norman Blake," says David. David traveled with Norman Blake and developed his style around the acoustic guitar sound. David
met Peter Hyrka in 1995 and helped form the Gypsy Hombres. "My

classical and David has performed on radio, stage, and/or T.V with such musical legends as: Minnie Pearl, Vassar Clements, Marty Stuart, Grandpa Jones, Lyle Lovett, Tiny Moore, The Nashville Bluegrass Band, The Nashville Jug Band, Uncle Walt's Band, Bill Monroe, Mark O'Connor, Buddy Spicher, Chet Atkins, Paul Yandel, Gatemouth Brown, Nashville Chamber Orchestra, Nashville Mandolin Ensemble, and many others.
