In this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with the remarkably versatile vocalist and musician David Blamires for a thoughtful and wide-ranging conversation about his global musical journey, his time with the Pat Metheny Group, and his solo career.
Born in the UK and raised in Canada, David’s voice has left its mark across genres. He’s perhaps best known for his work with the Pat Metheny Group, where his signature harmonies and unmistakable tone helped shape the sound of albums like Still Life (Talking) and We Live Here. But his career spans far beyond that, including an extensive resume as a session singer, live performer, and solo artist.
Whether you're curious about the world of studio vocals, the dynamics of life on the road, or the creative spark that brings voices together in harmony, this episode offers a fascinating glimpse into the art and craft of a world-class musician.
