David Cheatham brings his family's long history in the Smoky Mountains to life through his "Folk Mountain Jam" music. He primarily plays mandolin and vocals, with a mix of covers and original songs. David's music generally has a bluegrass/"newgrass" feel, but also frequently spans genres to feature jam band music and reggae. The mandolin 'twang has a classical element that is very much appreciated in upscale settings, but he's also bringing down to earth mountain music that is appropriate across our region! In all of his playing, his generous, warm, and wholesome nature comes through in his vocals. David also plays in larger projects, including roots rock reggae and soulful gypsy island folk bands.
