Review: David Dondero
Singer-songwriter David Dondero, who just released his new album “Simple Love” on Conor Oberst’s Team Love label, took the stage at the Habana Calle 6 patio at 11 p.m. Friday. Dondero’s emotional and sometimes humorous songs take you from one end of the country to the other, and when he plays live he embodies the spirit of the songs with a quavering voice and understated guitar work.
Singing about everything from relationships gone awry to eating po’ boys in New Orleans, Dondero comes across as a cup-half-empty kind of guy, but one who is going to drink every last drop. Highlights included several songs off of the new record, as well as a backing band (he has appeared by himself in the past) that filled out the set with a solid country rock sound.
